PREFACE.
Ma XV of those who cultivate literature will acknowledge, that their exertions are oftener the
result of accident, or of precipitate resolution, than of long cherished design, or mature reflec-
tion ; — that their most laborious enterprises are, sometimes, undertaken without due regard
to the difficulties which stand in the way of their completion ; and that although the possibility
or likelihood of ultimate success be at intervals contemplated, the ardour of the pursuit is
kept up by causes independent of such considerations.
Firmness of purpose is peculiarly requisite in the Lexicographer who has had no precursor
in his particular walk of compilation ; who has had to encounter, at every step, the ruggedness
and perplexities of an untrodden path ; to contend with difficulties at every turn ; to find
barrenness where he hoped for fertility, obscurity where he looked for light, and misappre-
hension and error, where he expected certainty and truth. His difficulties are, without
question, of a disheartening character : this I may be allowed to say from my own experience ;
yet I should be unwilling to utter an expression of dissatisfaction or regret : for I might be
told that my labour was voluntary ; that he who throws himself into trouble has nothing to
blame but his own rashness ; and that he who challenges difficulties or misfortune, deserves
only ridicule for his complaints.
In undertaking the present task, I did not, perhaps, sufficiently consider the disadvantages
under which I laboured, nor the odds against which I had to contend ; but I knew that
formidable obstacles have often yielded to steady resolution, and unremitting diligence.
It is not easy, in speaking of ones own labours, to avoid the imputation of egotism ;
I .shall, therefore, leave it to others to form their own estimate of the present publication. I
can only say that, though my task has been severe, it has not been without advantage ; and
that though it should never be crowned with great public approbation, it has not been alto-
gether without its reward. It has pointed my way to various sources of learning which
otherwise I should not have approached ; it has led me to consult authors whom otherwise I
should not have known ; it has procured for me patronage which cannot be exalted by my
praise, and friendship which I shall ever be proud to cherish.
The first remark which may occur in opening these sheets is, that I have been too lavish
of quotations in some instances, and too sparing in others. On this subject I shall only
viii PREFACE.
observe, that I considered myself as engaged in the double task of instructing the ignorant,
and of assisting the well-informed ; that a Lexicographer ought not to take for granted the
knowledge of those who consult him ; and that I had, moreover, the design of throwing
every facility in the way of future compilers. To the charge of being too sparing, I have
to answer, that the list of authors in our language is so small, that, for a vast variety of words,
I could not find, nor does there, I believe, exist, any written authority.
In the Gaelic-English Dictionary, the different acceptations of the Gaelic words might
have been arranged with the same precision, and after the same method, as in some other
dictionaries, but that the size and price of the work would be thereby nearly doubled.
In translating the Gaelic language, the inflections of nouns and verbs are apt to embarrass
the young student. On that account I deemed it expedient, in a great variety of instances,
to insert, as separate articles, the nominatives and datives plural of nouns, and such tenses
of the verbs as are in most frequent use, and, at the same time, bear the least resemblance to
the root ; such are the preterite active, the future affirmative active and passive, and the past
participle. I have also arranged many of the aspirate forms of words, as separate articles,
and have referred for explanation to the simple form. This will, it is hoped, be found useful.
Few students would conjecture that they must turn up cliias for ctuasaibli ; tigh for thigh ; dl
for (Ih'òl ; dìrich for dhìrich ; biiail for buailidli ; heir for fug; ditiiin for chual; thoir, or thabhair,
for bheirimi. If, in this, I should be considered diffuse by those who already know the lan-
guage, I feel assured that I shall have the acknowledgment of those who know it not, and
are desirous to acquire it.
It will be seen that, in many words, especially in those which I considered primitive, I
have traced affinities to a considerable extent. In doing so, my object was to leave grounds
for inferring the common origin of all languages, and to establish the antiquity of the Celtic.
For, if nations far remote and unconnected, dissimilar in manners and customs, shall have
preserved the same terms for all such objects as are most familiar to the observation of a
people in a state of nature, the obvious inference is, that these terms must have been derived
from a common origin; — from the language of the earliest inhabitants of the earth. Again, if
the Celtic should be found to contain all such terms as are common to all languages, it
is evident that it must have derived them from man's primeval tongue.
it is true that almost every language of antiquity has asserted its title to be considered the
most ancient ; and men whose erudition cannot be disputed, have supported their respective
claims. Of these, the Celtic has found an able advocate in Pezron, and other philologists ; the
Hebrew, in Leibnitz; the Pha;nician, in Bochart ; and the Dutch, in Gor. Becanus.
The diversity of opinions entertained on this subject, may, perhaps, be accounted for. All
the languages of antiquity, which are, in truth, but so many dialects of the primeval speech,
have nearly an equal number of primitives ; and each of them, therefore, in as far as roots
are concerned, seems to carry, on the face of it, an argument for the earliest existence. There
is little wonder, then, if a scholar should decide in favour of that with which he is most
PREFACE. ix
farailiar, and that a great question in philology should be affected by that prejudice which
intrudes itself into every department of human inquiry.
With all my admiration of the Celtic, I cannot join with those who ascribe to it an
antiquity beyond that of many other languages ; for I have not been able to discover, that
it can be said, with truth, of any language, that it is the most ancient.
I do not propose to meddle, in this place, with the keenly contested point, whether
the Gaelic of the Highlands be the parent of the speech of Ireland. However, I may lie
permitted to observe, that the Scotch Gaelic bears a closer resemblance to the parent
Celtic, and has fewer inflections than the Welsh, Manks, or Irish dialects. It has this
circumstance, too, ia common with the Hebrew, and other oriental languages, that it wants
the simple present tense; a peculiarity which strongly supports the opinion, that the Gaelic
of Scotland is the more ancient dialect. This question has been long discussed with
eagerness and ability. The one party draws its opinions partly from history, partly
from acute hypothetical reasoning, and from the natural westward progress of early migra-
tion ; the other argues from legends for which credulity itself is at a loss to discover a
foundation.
Throughout this work, I have followed the orthography of two writers, who are relied
on as guides by their countrymen; — ^the one, Dr. Stewart of Lu.ss, the translator of the
Holy Scriptures into Gaelic ; the other. Dr. Smith of Campbelton, the author of a Gaelic
metrical version of the Psalms, and other creditable works. These writers spent much of
their time in settling the orthography of our language; and, as they have a just and acknow-
ledged claim to be considered authorities, it is much to be desired that they should, hence-
forth, be regarded in that light. Fluctuations in the Gaelic language are perilous at this
stage of its existence ; for, if it be not transmitted to posterity in a regular, settled form,
it is to be feared, that it must soon share the fate of the forgotten Cornish.
The rule caol ri cuol agia kathan ri kathan, has been carefully observed by the writers
already mentioned, especially by Dr. Stewart. It directs that two vowels, contributing to
form two different syllables, should be both of the same class or denomination of vowels, —
either both broad, or both small. Agreeably to this rule, we ought to write ikanaibh, not
deanibh ; fò'ìdvan, not fù'uUin ; bioraìì, woi bircni : and so on, with other words. This mode of
spelling is a modern invention. It was first introduced by the Irish, and adopted by the
Gael, with, I confess, more precipitation than propriety. It has its advantages and its dis-
advantages. It mars the primitive simplicity and purity of the language ; but it removes
from it tliat appearance of harshness which arises from too great a proportion of consonants.
It not unfrequently, darkens somewhat the ground on which we trace the affinities of Gaelic
-words with those of the sister dialects, and of other languages ; yet it has infused into our
speecli a variety of liquid and mellow sounds which were unknown, or at least not so
perceptible before. It may be asked, why I have adhered to a rule of which I did not
altogether approve ? I reply, that any attempt at innovation — even at restoring the language
b
X PREFACE.
to its primitive purity, might introduce more iuconveniencies and evils than can result from
the present settled system of orthography.
I have bestowed pains on referring derivative words to their primitives — ^in resolving com-
pound words to their component j)arts — -in affixing to substantives their genitive singular and
gender — and to verbs their signification, whether active or neuter. The quotations from Gaelic
writers are translated into English as literally as the idioms of these languages will allow.
The edition of Stewart's Gaelic Bible, of which I made use, was that printed at Edinburgh
in 1807, for the Society in Scotland for Propagating Christian Knowledge. The particular
book of the sacred volumes from which I take a quotation is almost always mentioned.
Occasionally, however, O. T. or A". T. will be met with, where I could not remember the
precise part of the Old or New Testament which contained my authority. G. B. occur
where I could not remember nor ascertain from which of the Testaments the quotation
was taken. These abbreviations are, I believe, of rare occurrence; and I have here adverted
to them, in order to explain what, otherwise, might appear a want of precision.
The Gaelic, like all the languages of early times, does not abound in terms of science
or art. It will be seen, therefore, in the English-Gaelic Dictionary, that terms in mathe-
matics, metaphysics, and other sciences, I have been compelled to express by ambiology,
and often by definition.
If it be found that, of names of instruments, as in agriculture and mechanics, some are
rendered, perhaps, imperfectly, and others overlooked, let it be remembered, that no com-
pilation ever yet recorded every vocable which floated in a spoken language; and that I could
not, when an uncertainty occurred, transport myself to the proper sources of information,
to make ii;i for the scarcity of books and the defects of memory.
The Gaelic vocabularies of Shaw, Macfarlane, and Macdonald, and the Irish dictionaries
of O'Brien and O'Reilly, were of considerable .service to me. The mere collecting of words,
however, was but a small part of my labour, compared with the wearisome and almost
endless pursuit of authorities for different 'acceptations of the same word.
In tracing affinities, I derived great benefit from the works of Suidas, Cambry, Court
de Gebelin, Menage, Rostrenen, Bullet, Pezron, Spellman, Lye, and Edward Lhuyd, among
philologists ; and, in matters of antiquity, from Strabo, Diodorus Siculus, Solinus, Tacitus,
Ammianus, Usher, Toland, Huddleston, Keating, Malcolm, Dr. John Macpherson, Pennant,
Smith, and a forgotten multitude of other erudite and ingenious writers.
In the English-Gaelic Dictionary, I have followed the orthography and arrangement
of Perry.
It was once my design to prefix to this work a dissertation on the mechanism and
philo.sophy of the Gaelic language ; but, on reflection, I substituted a compendious view of
its structure, as being more suitable to sucli a performance, and more likely to be of service.
In this department of my compilation, I am indebted to the works of Shaw, O'Reilly,
and O'Connor.
PREFACE. • xi
A circumstance not unworthy of notice concerning this Dictionary is, that a great part of
it was printed while it was generally thought to be only in preparation. Hence it happened
that, during the progress of these sheets through the press, I was, not unfrequently, favoured
with communications from most respectable quarters, conveying encouragement which
excited my gratitude, and oti'ers of assistance which were, I lament, too late to be ren-
dered available. No doubt, it would have been useful to my work, if I had obligations,
on this account, to acknowledge. Be that as it may, I consider it due to myself to state,
that neither in compiling this Dictionary, nor even in transcribing the mass of manuscript
for publication, nor in superintending the press, have I received the least assistance whatever.
For patronage, however, I am deeply beholden to several whom ray commendations cannot
affect, but whom gratitude compels me to mention.
The early and eflective patron of this work, I am proud to make known, was Lord
Strathavon ; a young nobleman who, to many other acquirements, has added a most
accurate knowledge of the Gaelic language. I have not vanity enough to attribute to the
humble merits of my performance his Lordship's powerful support, to which I owe almost
all the more splendid names on my list of subscribers; but rather to that liberal and active
spirit with which he lends his aid to every cause which concerns the literature of the
Scottish Gael, and the honour of their country.
To his Grace the Duke of Hamilton I feel greatly indebted for attention and encourage-
ment ; as also to Lord Archibald Hamilton, and to Lord Glenorchy,
Sir Charles Forbes, Bart., of Edinglassie, whose patriotic character is well known, laid
me under early and great obligations. I value the kindness of this gentleman the more,
because it procured for me the acquaintance of General Gordon of Balbithan, a very superior
Celtic scholar and philologist, from whose conversation and suggestions I derived essential
benefit.
I am gratified to rank, among my most zealous patrons. Dr. Mackiniion of Adelphi,
and the Rev. Dr. Ross of Lochbroom ; gentlemen whose knowledge of every l^ranch of the
Celtic language is the least of their acquirements.
Mr. Simon Mac Gillivray of Suffolk Lane has done this Dictionary a service, which I can
never forget nor sufficiently acknowledge.
Mr. Robert Kennedy of Grenada will, I hope, accept of this expression of my gratitude
for his most active support, to which I owe a great proportion of my West India subscribers.
My sense of the friendly and successful efforts of the late Dr. Charles Kennedy of
St. Vincent, my schoolfellow and college companion, is equalled only by my regret for
his untimely death, and my respect for his memory.
I have also my thanks to offer to the following gentlemen, who, though mentioned the
last in order, are not the least in my esteem : — Capt. Duncan Mac Dougall of the 79th Regt.
of Foot ; the Rev. Daniel Mac Naughton of Glenco and Appin ; the Rev. Alexander
Anderson of Strontian; and the Rev. Alexander Kennedy of Mull.
xii ' PREFACE.
It would be most ungrateful in mc not to take this opjjortunity of mentioning, that,
notwithstanding all the patronage with which 1 have been favoured, it is questionable whether
I could ever have offered these sheets to the public, but for the disinterested spirit of my
publisher, Mr. Duncan.
To my Subscribers, in general, 1 return my sincerest acknowledgments. They may be
assured that very strenuous exertions have been made to fulfil the promises held out in the
Prospectus ; and I trust that I shall be considered as having redeemed my pledge.
To hope that this Dictionary is free from imperfections, even after all the pains I have
bestowed on it, would be presumptuous ; and to expect that any circumstance shall cause
those to be overlooked or forgiven, would be to hope for a favour which has been withheld
from far higher claims and deserts than mine; — for the merits of one's cause are not always a
|)rotection from hostility and censure ; and diligence, however laborious and sincere, is not
always requited with approbation.
I forbear to mention the time which this work has occupied, and the labour which it has
required. I might be discredited by some, and considered by others as indulging my vanity; —
especially when I should add, that I had in the meanwhile to provide for my own sub-
sistence ; and that the compilation which I now send forth to the world, is, in truth, the
production of such hours as I could spare from harassing occupations, or snatch from the
proper seasons of repose.
Having stated this much, I must guard against misconstruction. I have no desire to
conciliate hostility, nor to soften criticism. My cause is good. I have, under all disad-
vantages, done it the best service in my power; and I now, without presumption, yet
without undue anxiety, submit my work to a public intelligent enough to know the value
of every man's labour, and sufficiently generous to assign to all the degree of honour which
they may deserve.

A GRAMMAR
GAELIC LANGUAGE.
Grammar, or the art of speaking and writing a language according to certain established rules, is divided into four parts,
viz. Orthography, Etymology, Syntax, and Prosody.
OuTiioGUAPiiY, or right spelling, teaches the true arrangement of letters in words; the correct utterance of which
is called Orthoepy.
Etymology teaches how to derive a word from its root or primitive, — the parts of speech, — the inflection of nouns
and verbs, — and the modifications by which the sense of a word is diversified.
Syntax, teaches how to arrange words into sentences.
Prosody teaches the accent and cjuantity of syllables, and the measure of verse.
OF ORTHOGRAPHY, or RIGHT SPELLING.

consonants.

OF VOWELS, AND VOWEL SOUNDS.
Of these, a, e, i, o, u, are vowels, which Irish granimariuns have divided into broad and sniall : u, o, u, are broad ;
e, i, small.
A.
A represents three different sounds ; in the first two of which it is both long and short. A long, sounds like the
English a in bar, or the Italian a in amo : as, àl, broad ; sc'ir, excellent : and short, like a in cat, as, cas, a foot ; /alt, hair.
b
ii A GRAMMAR OF
A, immediately preceding dh and gh, has a long and a short diphthongal sound, to which there is none correspondent
in English. In this situation it much resembles the sound of the French diphthong eu ; long, as, ladhar, a hoof; agh-
mhor, fortunate: short, as a in lagh, law; tagii, choose.
A soimds short and obtuse, like e in open, in the three forms of the article a, an, am, and in the plural terminations
a and a/1 ; as, Za(//((()i)in, laws ; icaHHtan, mountains.
E.
E represents three different sounds.
E, with the grave accent (è), sounds long, like the Greek »i, as pronounced in Scotland and on the Continent, or like
e in where ; as, r, he; ri", during the time of: and short, like e in loet ; as, teth, hot; in which state it is never accented.
E, with the acute accent (t'), sounds like the Greek «, as, pronounced in England ; as, Ic, a female.
E final hp,5 an obtuse sound, like e in open; as, beannuichte, blessed ; bitailte, struck ; — there being no silent final
vowels in Gaelic.
I.
/sounds likecc in English, but .sometimes long and sometimes short; long, as, s'ln, stretch; s'lth, peace: short, like
ee in feet ; as, bith, existence.
O.
O represents three different sounds, in each of which it is both long and short.
0 long, sounds sometimes like o in lord ; as, hi, drink ; riimacli, hairy : and sometimes like o in fold ; as, cot, a coat ;
torn, a hillock.
0 short, sounds sometimes like o in pot ; as, brod, a lid ; grod, rotten ; borb, fierce : and sometimes like o in rope ;
as, slob, a puddle.
0, before gh, has a long and a short diphthongal sound : long, as, sogh, luxury; short, as, roghuinn, choice.
U.
U sounds like u in French and Italian, or like the English oo m jnoon, but sometimes long and sometimes short :
long, as, fudar, powder ; short, as, furan, a welcome.
OF THE DIPHTHONGS.
A diphthong is the meeting of two vowels in one syllaljje. In Gaelic there are thirteen diphthongs, and they are
derived from the vowels in the following manner :
( ae. I . ( la. ^
From a < ai. From e ' ' From i < io. From o, oi. From u\ ■'
Ì i eo. Ì . ' em.
f «0. / f III. '•
Of these, ao, cu, are improper diphthongs ; the rest are proper.
PROPER DIPHTHONGS.
Ae.
Ae occurs but in a few words; as, Gael,* a Highlander.
Ai.
Ai sounds like ai in the French canaille; as, caill, lose; mill, salt; pailtcas, plenty. Very frequently i is but faintly
sounded ; as in àite, a ])lace ; fùilte, welcome.
Ea.
Ea sounds like ea in the English noun bi:ar ; as, eacli, a horse ; fear, a man ; l)ut before a palatal, c, g ; or a lingual,
/, n, r; or a dental, d, s, t, not silent, the prepositive is often either quiescent, or but faintly sounded; a.s, ccalg, deceit;
geall, a wager.
Ei.
Ei sometimes gives the sound of both vowels ; as, fcidh, deer ; and sometimes that of e alone ; as, n'irf/i, a plain.
Before the palatals, c, g, the Unguals, /, n, r, or the dentals, d, s, t, not silent, i is but faintly heard ; as, rcic, sell ; leig,
let ; fciii, self: and often confers on a following palatal, a double palatal sound; as, thig, (pronounce hcek), shall come;
and on a dental, a double dental sound; as, theid, shall go (pron. hiich, articulating ch as in church).
Eo.
Eo sounds somewhat like aiv in ijawl ; as, ccòl, music; ceo, mist.
/a.
la has both vowels heard ; as, fiar, crooked ; mil, a thou.; ; rinr, dusky ; but in ciu ? what ? and iad, they, ia often
sounds like e in when:.
' Gat-I and Guelach are more commonly writteji Gaidlieal ami Gaidlieahcli, to presorvo the rule, cuol ri cnol, is Icalhan ti katkait.
THE GAELIC LANGUAGE. iii
/o.
lo sounds both long and short: long, as, ea in fear ; as, sior, ever; Jior, true : and short, not unlike the French eu ;
as, Jiodh, timber. Before a palatal, lingual, or dental, o is not always, or but faintly, heard; as, pioc, pick; ciod, what;
sgiol, skill ; hior, a thorn ; Jios, knowledge.
hi.
lu sounds both its vowels; as, _/;«, (pron. few), worthy; except before c, 51, or d, I, n, r, s, t, where it is not
sounded; as, Hugh, thick, (pron. chin); diu.lt, deny, (pron. chiùlt).
Oi.
Oi sounds both its vowels: long, as, doiyh, manner; sloigh, host: short, as, troidh, a foot; hloidh, a piece. Except
before c, g, I, n, r, s, t, not silent, i is quiescent, and affects the sound of the consonant which it precedes; as, toic,
substance, (pron. t»(x») ; foid, a turf, (pron./òcA, ch sounding as in chair); coise, gen. of cas, foot, (pron. coish).
Ua.
Ua sounds both its vowels ; as, tuar, colour ; fuar, cold. Except before ch, dh, gh, th, the a of xui commonly
sounds like e in her; as, bruach, a bank; tuadh, a hatchet; shiagh, people; luath, swift.
Ui.
Ui sounds both its vowels ; as, buidhinn, gain ; luidh, lie. Except before c, g, I, n, r, s, t, the i of ui is not heard ;
but it affects the sound of the consonant following, as, luis, (pron. luish) ; tuit, fall, (pron. tuick, ch as in church) ; sluig,
swallow, (pron. slluk, — k as in key).
IMPROPER DIPHTHONGS.
Ao.
Ao has a peculiar sound, not attainable by the ear, much resembling that of eu in the French heure ; as, laoijh, a calf;
and a nasal sound, as, maoth, soft.
Eu.*
Eu sounds like ei in feign ; beum, a blow ; feum, need.
OF THE TRIPHTHONGS.
The triphthongs are these five: aoi, eoi, iai, iui, uai. They are pronounced respectively, like the diphthongs, ao, eo,
ia, iu, ua, with the addition of a short i, which senes to liquefy the sound of the following consonant. They are all long,
and never occur but in monosyllables, or in the first syllable of polysyllables.
OF THE CONSONANTS.
There are twelve consonants, b, c, d, f, g, I, ni, n, p, r, s, i ; h is rather a mark of aspiration than a radical letter.
The consonants in Gaelic may be conveniently brought into the following arrangement: Labials, Palatals, Dentals,
and Linguals.
Labials
<"^' Palatals <■ Dentals-J^ LingualsxTi.
I;: ^^- h. Xr.
Of these, 6, c, d, f, g, >n,p, s, t, are mutable, or capable of aspiration, by having h subjoined; in which state their
simple sound is either altered or lost. The immutables are /, n, r.
Labials.
B.
B simple sounds somewhat harder than b, and softer than p, in English ; as, btmil, strike ; bean, touch. Bh sound
like V in English, French, and Italian ; as, bhean, touched ; bhac, hindered. Bh, at the end of a word or syllable, either
sound like n, or stand for a gentle aspiration ; as, searbh, bitter ; fabhras, a fever. Sometimes bh, in the middle of a
word, are silent; as, soirbheas, prosperity; doirbheas, adversity.
F.
F simple is pronounced as in most other languages ; fh are silent ; as, fhad, long ; an Fhraing, France. In a very
few words, as, ìnifhiiti, myself, fh sound like h in English.
M.
M simple, the same as in English; as, mir, great; caman, a club; lom, bare. Mh sound like v in English; as,
amhàin, only; a mhusgaid, the musket. Frequently, though never at the beginning of a word, mh sound like a nasal 00,
or stand for a gentle aspiration; as, ramh, an oar; and sometimes they are altogether quiescent, as, comhnard. level;
dhomh, to me.
* In tlie West and Nortliem Highlands, this diplithong is often pronounced Uke ia ; as, miad, size, for rneud ; inn, bird, lor eun.
iy A GRAMMAR OF
P.
P simple sounds as in English and othcT languages ; as, pronn, bruise ; peasg, a gash ; ph like / in English, as,
phronn, bruised.
Palalals.
C.
C simple has two sounds: (1.) Like t in cuh ; as, cù, a dog-; cratli, shake. (2.) When preceded in the same syllable
bv a small vowel, it has, in most parts of the Highlands, a sound to which that of;;)', is pretty similar; as, aire, distress,
(pron. aifx")- 1" some parts it sounds like k.
Ch sound like the Gr. yc in ;k«?^". or like the Irish gh in lough, or the vulj^'ar Scotch ch in /oc7i, as, moch, early ; and,
wlien followed by a small vowel, like x '" X^i"*" : ^s, c/ù, shall see.
G.
G simple sounds, at the beginning of a word, nearly as in English ; at the end of a word, its sound more nearly
resembles that of the English k in rock; as, rug, bore; thvg, gave.
G aspirated, or gh, followed by a, o, or u, sounds somewhat softer than the Greek x, '> as, ghitir, laughed ; excepting
at the end of a syllable, and then it is silent ; as, tigh, a house ; rioghachd, a kingdom.
Gh, followed by e or i, sounds like y in ye ; as, ghios, (pron. yeess), towards.
Dentals.
D.
D simple is more a dental than in English, and sounds somewhat like the French and Italian d ; as, dan, a song;
duine, a man ; dlagh, a handful ; madadh, a mastiff; rud, a thing. Except when it is followed by e or i, or is preceded
in the same syllable by i; for then it grounds like ch in child; as, clogaid, a helmet; càirdeas, friendship.
D, preceded by dh, sounds like x*-' »*> lochd, harm, (pron. Wox"-).
Dh, at the beginning of a word, has a somewhat softer sound than the Greek X' &s, dha, to him ; but if followed
by e or i, it sounds like y in English ; as, dheth, of him ; dh'i, of her, {pron. yea, ye).
Dh at the end, or in the middle of a word, is most frequently quiescent; as, chaidh, v/eni ; fiiidhcadaireachd,
prophecy. ^
T simple, immediately followed by a, o, or ti, or a consonant, sounds like the French t in terns, or the Italian t in
tempo; as, tamh, rest; tao/n, pour; tin, smooth.
T simple, preceded in the syllable by u, or immediately followed by e or i, sounds like ch in child; as, tein, fire,
(pron. chcin); ftiilte, welcome, (pron. failch, ch sounding as in church).
T aspirated, or th, like h in home; as, thoir, give; but in the middle, or at the end of a word, it is silent; as,
Jitheach, a raven; bith, existence.
S.
S simple, preceded or followed by a, e, or ;, sounds like sh in English; as, sioii, (pron. shioii), u blast; gnuis, (pron.
gnuish), a visage. Except is, (pron. iss), am.
S simple, preceded or followed by a, o, or v, sounds like s in English; as, sabh, a salve; sogh, luxury; mios,
a mouth.
.S' simple, followed by d, t, I, or n, and a short vowel, sounds like sii in English; as, sdiùir, or stiùir, steer; slios,
a side; sniomh, spin.
S, before any other consonant, even though followed by a short vowel, sounds like s in English ; as, smig, (pron.
smik), a chin ; smtid, (pron. smeich), a nod.
S aspirated, or sh, is silent; as, shebl, directed, (pron. heoi); excepting when followed by I or n, and then there is
no aspiration ; as, shniimh, (pron. 7iàv), swam ; shli'inuich, (pron. IFinix), healed.
IjiilglUl/s.
The lingual consonants, as has been said, are incapable of aspiration ; but they have often a double lingual sound,
to which there is none similar in English.'
L.
L simple, like I in large; as, las, flamed. It has this so\nul when it l)cgins the preterites of verbs and the feminine
form of adjectives.
L has its double lingual sound when followed by e or ;, and then it is articulated like // in million, or like the Italian
gl, or the Portuguese Ih ; as, linn, an age ; Win, a shirt. Yet, with regard to nouns beginning with I, if the masc. pass. pron.
goes before, / sounds as in English ; as, a litir, his letter ; where I differs materially in sound from I in a litir, her letter.
L has another double lingual sonnd, generally, when it is preceded by itself, or when it is followed by a, o, or u, in
verbs and in adjectives masculine ; us, /aWai/i, healthy ; Wn, full ; /om, bare; /«s, an herb.
//, prccedcfl or followed by a short vowe', also sounds as the Itulinii gl.
II, preceded or followed by '(, o, oi u, has the same double lingual sound as in liin, masculine, but has no sound
simdar to it in English.
THE GAELIC LANGUAGE. v
N.
N simple sounds like n in English in the beginning of preterites, and whenever it is preceded by a, o, or u; iis, ritnh
washed ; lihi, full ; Ion, a thrush ; run, aflfection ; and in the middle of words, as, sinidh, shall stretch.
N has its double sound in the beginning of a verb in the imperative mood, and followed by a, a, or u ; as, noclid
shew; or at the beginning of a masculine adjective, and followed by a broad vowel; as, naomh, holy; nuadh, new. In this
situation it has no similar sound in English, but is the same with the first n in the French non.
The same observations apply to the reduplicated nn.
N has another double sound, when immediately preceded by i, or when i is the last vowel of the same syllable ; as,
linn, an age; ciiirn, cairns; uinneag, a window; and at the beginning of imperatives, and certain other tenses, when
followed by a small vowel ; as, nigh, wash. In this situation it sounds exactly like gn, in the French guigne, or the
Italian regno.
N, preceded by m or c, is in some words pronounced like r ; as, cnaimh (craimh), a bone ; cno (era), a nut.
Lastly, an and nan, when the next word begins with c or g, sound like ng and 7iung ; as, an cit, the dog ; an ginl, tin
cheek; nan cealgair, of the deceivers.
R.
R simple sounds like r in English; as, rath, (pron. ra), luck; righ, a king. Righ, in the vocative, has no sound
similar to it in English, but it is exactly that of ri in the French infex'wx'xtt-.
R, if preceded by i, or if followed by i, and forming a syllable, sounds as above, like ri in the French infcrioriti' ;
as, rithe, with her ; mairbh, dead ; còiV, right.
OF ETYMOLOGY.
Etymology is that part of grammar which teaches how to derive a word from its primitive, — shews the parts of
speech, the inflections of nouns, and the modifications by which the sense of a word is diversified.
OF THE PARTS OF SPEECH.
In Gaelic there are nine parts of speech, viz. Article, Noun, Pronoun, Verb, Participle, Adverb, Preposition,
Interjection, Conjunction. These are divided into declinable and indeclinable.
The declinable parts of speech are, — the Article, Noun, Pronoun, Verb, Participle.
The indeclinable are, — the Adverb, Preposition, Interjection, Conjunction.
OF THE ARTICLE.
There is no indefinite article in Gaelic. An, the, is the definite article, and is declined by genders, cases, and numbers.
Singular. Plural.
Mas. Fern. Mas. and Fern.
Norn. An, am. An, a'. Na.
Gen. An, a'. Na. Nan, nam.
Dat. An,* a'. An, a'. Na.
The form am of the article is used before a simple (not aspirated) labial; as, am buille, the blow ; am fear, the man :
before any aspirated consonant (except fh) the article is written a'.
A substantive noun, beginning with s, followed by a liquid or by a vowel, requires the insertion of t between it and
the article, in the gen. and dat. sing. 7nas. of nouns, and in the nom. and dat. of feminine nonns.
A sub. mas. beginning with a vowel has t between it and the article in the nom. sing.
A sub. /em. has h in the same situation in the gen. sing.
Nouns which are either 7nas. or fern, have h in ithe nom. and dat. plural.
Nan, of the gen. pi., is always used, except before words beginning with b,f, p. Nan, before c or g, sounds ming.
OF GENDER.
The genders are two, masculine and feminine.
The Gaelic language is very anomalous in its distinction of nouns by gender ; and perhaps no set of rules can be
devised to ascertain the gender of every noun in the language. It personifies every object, whether animate or inanimate.
The gender is not determined by termination, or any circumstance, but by immediate distinction of sex, and by custom.
Masciiliiies.
Nouns signifying males, are masculine ; as, duiae, a man ; laoch, a hero ; each, a horse.
Note. — That lebmhann, lion ; laogh, calf; uan, lamb ; and several other names for the young of animals, are masculine,
though the objects be feminine.
Nouns in 0, or having o in the last syllable, are commonly masculine ; as, ce'o, must ; roth, a wheel ; corp, a body.
Polysyllables in a, o, or u, are commonly masculine.
Diminutives in an are masculine ; as, caman, a club ; fuaran, a well ; barran, a thorn-fence.
* An, after a vowel, is written 'ii.
vi A GRAMMAR OF
Derivatives in ac/i, iche, as, air, ear, are for the most part masculine; as, marcach, a rider; maraiche, a seaman;
piobair, a piper; muillear, a miller; cùirdeas, friendship.
Names of trees are coraniouly masculine.
Feminiiies.
Nouns signifying females are feminine ; as, viàthair, a mother.
Aggregate names of trees are feminine; as, darach, oak-wood.
Names of countries, especially those ending in achd, or which have a short vowel in the last syllable ; as, Gaidhealt-
nchd, the Highlands; Eirin, Ireland. The names of districts have their gender commonly regulated by their termination.
Names of musical instruments ; as, fiob, a pipe ; cridt, a harp.
Names of diseases ; as, buinncuch, a diarrhoea.
Polysyllables (except agents in air and iche) whose least vowel is e, or i, are commonly feminine ; as, neasgaid, a
boil ; doiriinn, an isthmus.
Diminutives in ag ; as, sradag, a spark.
Derivatives in achd ; as, maiseaciid, comeliness ; rioghachd, a kingdom.
Comparatives used substantively, are feminine ; as, niaoile, baldness ; gile, whiteness.
Nouns in ua, and ?<;, a diphthong, the subjunctive of which is a slender or small vowel, are commonly feminine; as,
aiach, a cup ; compailt, company.
OF NUMBER.
A noun has two numbers, singular and plural.
The cases are four, viz. Nominative, Genitive, Dative, Vocative.
A noun is either simple or aspirated, e. g. mbr, mlwr, where mbr is the simple form, and mhbr the aspirated.
Nouns in a definite sense are declined with the article.
The flection of a Gaelic noun is carried on not so much by a change of the termination, as of the last vowel, or of the
diphthong of the nominative, and by aspirating the initial consonant.
The Gael have only two declensions. Nouns whose last vowel is a, o, or u, are of the first ; nouns whose last vowel
is e, or i, are of the second.

General Rule. — The genitive is formed by inserting i after the last vowel of the nominative ; as, slat, fem., gen. slait,
a rod : chtaran, masc., gen. cluarain, a thistle. Feminines of one syllable also insert i after the last vowel of the
noun, and often add e to the last letter; as, lamh, laimhe, a hand.

THE GAELIC LANGUAGE.
OF ADJECTIVES.
Ak adjective is a word which denotes some quality belonging to the substantive ; as, dume viath, a good man ;
tiqh mhr, a large house.
In Gaelic, the adjective is varied on account of gender, number, and case.
The changes which an adjective undergoes in the course of flection are twofold : first, by aspirating the initial eon-
'onant ; and, secondly, by changing the termination.
Adjectives, like substantives, are either of the first or second declension.
Adjectives which are characterized by a, o, or u, are of the first declension.
Adjectives characterized by i, are of the second.

RULES FOR THE INFLECTION OF ADJECTIVES OF THE FIRST DECLENSION.
.SINGULAR NUMBER.
NOMINATIVE.
The initial consonant, when it admits of aspiration, is aspirated for the feminine gender, and terminates like the
masculine ; as, mbr, m. inhbr,fem. great; fann, m. fhann,fem. weak; ceart, m. cheart,fem. right.
OBLIQUE CASES.
The oblique cases of each gender are formed like those nouns of the first declension, and follow the same rules.
GENITIVE.
In general, the genitive singular feminine is formed from the genitive singular masculine by throwing aside the aspirate
of the initial consonant ; and monosyllables, after this change, commonly add e.
If the no\m ma.sculine ends in e, that vowel is retained throughout.
The learner may derive some help from the following table : —

THE GAELIC LANGUAGE.
ADJECTIVES OF THE SECOND DECLENSION.
These adjectives are characterized by i, and they form their cases Uke substantives of the second declension.
Some adjectives of two syllables, of both declensions, are contracted in the plural; as, reamhara, cotitr. reamhra,/a? ;
milise, contr. milse, sweet.
The initial form of the adjective depends, (1) on the gender of its noun, (2) on its termination, (3) on its sense being
definite or indefinite.*

OF THE COMPARISON OF ADJECTIVES.
In Gaelic there are three degrees or states of comparison ; the Positive, Comparative, and Superlative.
Tlie Positive merely expresses the quality ; as, tha 'n dath so dearg, this colour is red.
The Comparative enlarges or diminishes the quality ; as, is e so dath is deirge, this is the redder colour.
The Superlative expresses the quality of an object in the highest degree ; as, is e so an dath is deirge dhiubh uile,
this is the reddest colour of them all.
* If a substantive feminine ends in n, and its adjective begins vpith d, there is no initial change in the adjective ; as, aiiliiin dubh.
admit donn,
d

THE GAELIC LANGUAGE. xix
OF PRONOUNS.
A PuoNOtx is a word put instead of a noun, to prevent the too frequent repetition thereof; as, tha Dia mòr; tha e.
sona; tha e gràsmhor; tha e naomh.
There are six kinds of pronouns ; viz. the Personal, the Relative, the Adjective, the Interrogative, the Indefinite, and
the Compound pronouns.
PERSONAL PRONOUNS.
There are four personal pronouns; they admit of Person, Gender, Number, and of a Simple and Emphatic form. A
personal pronoun is thrown into an emphatic form by the addition of sa, or san, se, ne, to the simple form.
SIMI'I.K FORM.
Mi, mhi, /, the first person, "^ Sinn, we, the first person, ^
Tu,* thu, thou, the second person, ( „. . Sibh,t you, the second person, f
E, se, Ae, ).,,,• , i' ' lad, siad, they, the third person, *
■t ■ t I- the third person, I > > ,m r >
Plural.
EMPHATIC FORM.
Sinne, u-e, the first person, "J
Plural.
Mise, mhise, /, the first person, "j Sinne, u-e, the first person, "J
Tusa, thusa, thou, the second person, f „. . Sibhse, you, the second person, J-
The forms of the personal pronoun governed by a transitive verb are.
Simple form. Emph.form. Simple form. Emph. form.
Mi, Mise, me, "j .Sinn, Sinne, ns, 1
Thu, Thusa, thee, \ Singular. Sibh, Sibhse, you, ',■ Plural.
E, Esan, him, j lad, ladsan, them, j
I, Ise, her, j
Note. — -That/ewj when added to a personal pronoun, is equivalent to the Latin syllabic adjection met, English self,
or selves ; mi fein, or mi f hein, myself; mise fein, -my own self.
Thu fein, or thu fhein, thyself; thusa fein, thy own self.
E fein, or e fhein, himself; esan fein, his oiun self.
I fein, or i fhein, herself; ise fein, her own self.
Sinn fein, or sinn fhein, ourselves ; sinne fein, our own selves.
.Sibh fein, or sibh fhein, yourselves ; sibhse fein, your own selves.
lad fein, or iad fhein, themselves ; iadsa fein, theinselves.
Gender has respect only to the third person singular of the pronouns, e, i. E is masculine, i is feminine. There is
no neuter gender in Gaelic, as has been already observed.
RELATIVE PRONOUNS.
There are three relative pronouns, nom. a, ivho, which ; gen. and dat. an ; nach, who not, which not, that not; na,
that which.
ADJECTIVE PRONOUNS.
The adjective pronouns may be subdivided into the Possessive, the Demonstrative, and the Distributive.
I. The Possessive Pronouns are,
Mo, 7ny, "i Ar, our, "J
Do, thy, ^Singular. Bhur, o;' ur, 2/0!(, \ Plural.
A, her, y An, or am, their, )
These pronouns never have the emphatic syllable subjoined, like the personal pronouns ; but when they agree with a
substantive, the emphatic form is expressed as follows :
Simple form. Emph.form. Simple form. Emph.form.
Mo (lieann. Mo cheann-sa, '\ Ar ceann, Ar ceann-ne, 1
Do cheann, Do cheann-sa, > Sinqular. Bhur, or ur ceann, Bhur, or ur ceann-sa. > Plural.
uu ciieaiiu, uo cneann-sa, > mnguiar. isnur, or ur ceann, rsnur, or ur ceann-sa. ^
A cheann, A cheann-san, ) Ant ceann. An ceann-san. J
* The personal pronoun tu, thu, or thusa, is used in addressing our equals and our inferiors; and, what is remarkable, in our addresses
to the Supreme Being.
f Sibil, or sibhse, is commonly used when we address our superiors in age or in rank ; yet the second personal pronoun is beautifully
applied to majesty, and to people of very high rank.
J Am is used before words beginning with a labial not aspirated ; un is used before all other consonants, and before words begin-
ning with a vowel.
A GRAMMAR OF
If the substantive be followed by an adjective, the emphatic adjection is put after the adjective only; and if it be fol-
lowed by more adjectives than one, the adjection is put after the last ; as.
Do ghnùis bhòidheach-sa, thy pretty face.
Do lamh bhòidheach gheal-sa, thy pretty white hand.
Do phiutiiair g;ioil-sa, thy beloved sister.
Before a vowel or /aspirated, 7>io and do arc written with an apostrophe ; as, m' athair, my father ; d' ainm, thy name.
II. The Demonstrative Pronouns are three, so, sin, sud or ud ; so, this; sin, thai; sud * or ud, yon, yonder.
III. The Distributive Pronouns are, gach, each, every; gach uile, contracted chuile, or h-uile, every; a cheile, each
other.
INTERROGATIVE PRONOUN.S.
The interrogative pronouns are, co ? zcho? cia? which? ciod? what? and nach, which is used when a question is
put in a negative form.
INDEFINITE PRONOUNS.
The indefinite pronouns express their subjects in a general manner ; the following are of this description :
each, the rest, Cia b' e, zvhoever.
Cuid, some, Cia b' e air bith, whoever.
Cuid eile, some others, Co air bith, whoever.
Eigin, some, Ciod air bith, luhatever.
Eile, other.
COMPOUND PRONOUNS.
The personal pronouns in Gaelic are often found combined with prepositions, which generally govern different
cases ; and, in that state, they form a part of speech which may be termed Compound Pronouns. The prepositions which
are capable of being thus united, are the following: aig or ag, at; air, on; ann, in; as, out of; de, off; do, to; eadar,
between; fo, fodha, or imiì\ì, under ; g\i, till ; le, with; mu, about ; o or ua, from ; ri, to; roimh, before; thar, over;
troirah, through. The syllabic adjections, as has been said, throw the pronouns into the emphatic form.

OF THE VERB.
A Verb expresses action, being, or suffering.
In Gaelic there are two conjugations. The first comprehends all those verbs which begin with any consonant,
except/; as, paisg, wrap. Under the second are arranged those which begin with a vowel or withy,- as, òb, refuse;
till, fold.
The Gaelic verb is declined by Voices, Moods, Tenses, Numbers, and Persons.
There are two Voices ; Active and Passive.
The different particles of conjunction and adverb in Gaelic might give rise to a variety of moods, but they may be
reduced into the five following: — The Affirmative, or Indicative, the Negative, or Interrogative, the Subjunctive, or
Optative, the Imperative, and the Infinitive,
There are three times or tenses; the Present, Preterite, and Future.
There are two numbers; .Singular and Plural.
There are three persons; First, Second, and Third.
Verbs, like nouns, are inflected by aspirating the initial consonant, and by an occasional change of termination.

* Dean, r/i), ot make, and rach, gii, arc often used as auxiliary verbs; as, dean luidlic, lir dawn ; dean seasamh, slaiul ; literally,
make a lie down; make (island; chaidh mo clireaehadh, 1 xims plundered, i.e. nn/ plundermg is gout- or jiasl ; racliadli mo bhualadli, / iniidd
be struck, i. c. tlic striking (if mc would have ]mss(d or happened. These auxiliaries are declinable witli all die conjunctive and adverbial
particles.
+ Am bhcil is, almost always, pronounced 'm blieil or hhelt ; in some districts of the lliijhlands, as in Badcnoch, they say «;« biil.
\ 'Eil for bhcil. After the conjunctive particles cha, nach, mur, blieil is written \il ; and in order to scjiaratc; die two vowels, and also
to prevent an hiatus, we insert the letter n, and write clui 'n 'til, rather dian clia \il.

IMPERSONAL VERBS.
The Preterite Affirmative of Neuter Verbs, and the Future of the Negative or Intenogative Mood of Active Verbs,
are often used impersonally ; as, ghuileadh, biutiledr, rjluaiseur, faicear, faighear. Any verb used in this way may be
declined with the compound pronoun /eawi, through all its persons; yet it is not accounted so elegant to express the
pronoun, as to leave it to be supplied according to the sense of the context. The impersonal verbs are used after this
manner.

OF THE FORMATION OF THE PARTS OF SPEECH.
Gentile, or Patronymic Nouns, end in ach, and are derived from other proper substantives, as names of
natives; Albannach, a &o< ; Sa.s\xmrdch, an Englishman ; Suaineach, a 5ii'erfe ; Lochlinneach, a Z)a/ie ; so also, an indi-
vidual of a clan, as, from Stiùbhart, Stiùbhartach, a Stewart ; from Grannd, Granndach, a Grant.
Diminutive Nouns in an and ag are formed most commonly from substantives; as, leabhar, a book ; leabhran, a
little book; caile, a girl; caileag, a little girl; sguab, a sheaf; sguabag, a little sheaf; leanabh, leanaban, a little child.
Collective Nouns are not confined to any particular termination; of these some are primitives, as, clann, a clan;
sluagh, people: and some derivatives, as, òigridh, a band of youth; laochraidh, a band of warriors. Some collectives
end in ach; as, duillearh,_/o/(a^f, from duille, a leaf.

PROSODY.
The great excellence of any language consists in the power which its sounds possess, of communicating certain im-
pressions or meanings.
The Gaelic, being a branch of the primeval tongue, has this quality in a far superior degree to any language, the
structure of which is concocted or complex. It is a language of nature ; and its sounds may be truly said to be echoes
to the sense. Hence arises its success in descriptive poetry, and in all its addresses to the passions. When the nature
of the object described is harsh and hard, sounds of a similar kind are employed, which impel their meaning to the mind,
by noisy, hard-sounding consonants : whereas, in subjects of tenderness, solemnity, or of mournful interest, scarcely is any
sound perceived, but the music of mellow vowels and diphthongs.
Mr. Shaw, to whose ill-requited labour the Gaelic owes a great deal, observes correctly, that the combinations ai, ei,
are cheerful and soft; and ao, solemn. He might have added that oi, ao, aoi, are significant of softness and affection, and
«!, ua, uai, of sadness. Among the consonants, II is soft and mild; so is the gentle aspiration mh, as in caomh, mild;
seimh, quiet; cr, dr, and tr, are hard, loud, and violent.
VERSIFICATION.
The Gaelic Bards had peculiar facilities in composing ; as they were not restrained by any fixed law of verse. .\
termination of lines by similar letters was never deemed requisite ; for, if the closing syllable, or the penult of corresponding
lines, were somewhat similar in sound, it was reckoned sufficient for the purposes of rhyme, and was all that they usuailv
aimed at.
The folloioing Verses exemplify this Remark.
Thug an deise do Ainnir gaol,
Ach air GoU bha 'gorm-shùil chaoin,
B' e cilis a h-aisling anns an oidhche,
'S cùis a caoidh mu 'n chaochan choiUteach. —
Cha b' ionnan is Garna na gruamaich,
Mar lasair 's an tòit ag a cuartach.' — Oss. Cathluno.
Another method of rhyme consisted in a conformity of sound between the last word, or part of the last word, of a
foregoing verse, and some word, or part of a word, about the middle of the following.
Ciod am fa bhi 'g udal cuain,
Is eilean J'uar na geotha crom,
A sgaoileadh a sgiath na'r coinneamh.
Gu 'r dion o dhoinionn na h-oidhche. — Ullin,
Mar dha bheum sleibh o 'n fhireach
Le cheile a sireadh gu gleanntai. - Oss.
Ixiv A GRAMMAR OF
Sometimes there is a conformity of sound between the last word of a forcijoing verse, and a word in the beginning of
the following.
Cha do thuit e gun chliù san ùraich,
Bu yhàìihaidh le moran 'imeachd ;
Mar thorunn ro' choillte, no mar dhealan,
'G a. f alack an deigh an leir-sgrios. — Ardar.
In some stanzas of four lines, there is sometimes observed a double conformity; that is, in the concluding words of
each couplet, and in other words throughout the preceding line of every couplet. This kind of verse possesses great
beauty.
Sheid gaoth dhileas air beaxn
'S cha b' FiiANN air buillean 'g a cògiAnadh ;
Sinn a bualadh mhuUach nan tonn,
'Sgach soNN is a sluul ri comhimg.— Ullin.
MEASURE.
The poetry of the ancient Gael, as it has come down to us, resembles that of the present day, in its setting every law
of scanning at defiance. Ossian, and the poets of his time, adapted their compositions to the song; in other words, they
set them to music : and there seem to be but two suppositions on which we can account for the irregularity of their verses.
Either the music itself must have been very anomalous, or, the strains having been forgotten, and thus the guides to
uniformity lost, the poems must have suffered from the liberties which had been taken with them, by the rehearsers of
succeeding ages. I am inclined to think, however, that tlie music was simple and uniform, and that the poetry was
correctly adapted thereto. However irregular the music may be imagined to have been ; as the bards must have
accurately set their verses to it, there would be observable in their poems a regular recurrence of similar irregularities.
This is not the case. The anomaly of their verses must, therefore, be owing to the reciting Bards, who, in some parts,
suffered words and turns of expression to fall into oblivion through their indolence ; and introduced, in others, expressions
which their own conceit informed them were superior to the original ; for there never yet was a poet so transcendently
good, that a worse did not suppose himself in many respects better.
Add to this, that the language was pronounced differently in different districts, and at different periods of time ; yet
in these abused fragments of ancient poetry — these remains of Ossian's ruins, we have numberless displays of the might
and magnificence of his genius.
Notwithstanding the freedon\s which have been taken with the works of the Fingalian poet, they afford numberless
examples of correct and measured rhymes; and this circumstance affords a strong presumption that the rhyme, or at least
the measure of the poetry, was uniform and regular throughout.
The verses of the Fingalian poets seldom exceed eight syllables ; and most frequently the second foot and the third
are dactyles, with a short syllable at the beginning of the verse, and a long syllable, or a trochee at the end.

The ancient poems published by Dr. Smith of Campbelton, are still more irregular in their measure than those
collected by Macpherson ; it being seldom that the same measure applies to four successive lines. They cannot be
scanned, therefore, by any set of rules I can devise. In one of these poems, entitled Conn, there is preserved a wild
effusion — an incantation of the Scandinavian priests. It consists of five stanzas of lour lines each. The last line of each
.staff has six syllables, consisting of a short syllable, a dactyle, and a trochee; the rest four, consisting of a trociice and a
pyrrhic.

Macintyre, our Burns, an uninstructed shepherd, and a man of extraordinary talents for poetry, wrote pieces which
may stand comparison with the pastoral and descriptive poetry of any land or age. As the structure of some of them is
peculiar, a view of their measure may not here be unacceptable, or misplaced. His best poems are Coire Ckeathaich, Bcinii
Dobhrain, and Mairi Bhùn hg. The first of these is divided into strophes of eight verses each; but they might have been
more judiciously arranged in stanzas of four lines. The measure repeats at every second line. There is, moreover, in
every first line, a conformity of sound between the first syllable of the second and third foot ; and in the second line,
between the first syllable of the second, and the middle of the third, foot. This poem may be scanned by an ampliybracli
and trochee alternately on the first line ; the second line is the same, excepting that it terminates witii a long syllable.

Beinn Dobhrain is similar in measure to a much older poem, entitled, Moladh Mhhruig. It contains three distinct
measures : first, the urlar ; secondly, siubhal, quicker than the zirlar ; and thirdly, crùn-luath, the most rapid of the three.
These terms are taken from corresponding strains in piobaireachd. The first stanza, nrlar, consists of spondees and dartvles.

I shall conelude this exemplification of Gaelic verse with one of those famous songs of intilenienl to battle, called,]
Drosnacluidh cutha. These songs were not all precisely in the same measure ; but they were all quick, rapid, and ani-1

FOCLAIR
GAILIG AGUS BEURLA.
A.
A, a. (ailm, the elm.) The first letter of the Gaelic alphabet.
It has three sounds : (1.) both long and short. Long, like
a in bar, car ; as àl, brood, àr, slaughter. Short, like a in
fat, cat; as fait, hair, cas, foot. (2.) Both long and short,
when immediately preceding dh, and gh ; in which state it
has no corresponding sound in English. Long, as adhradh,
worship; &g\\mhor, fortunate. Short, as lagh, fa:;; ; tagh,
choose; adharc, horn. (3.) Short and obscure, like e in
hinder; as an, am, a, the; ma, nam, nan, if; and the
plural terminations a, or an, as laghanna, la-a-s, beanntan,
mountains. In the interrogative pronouns an and am, a is
scarcely ever pronounced.
A, article. The. Used before words beginning with aspiration;
as, a chraobh, the tree ; a bheinn, the hill, or mountain.
A, rel. pron. Who, which, whom, what, that. An duine a
bhuail mi, the man whom I struck ; mar aisling cliaoin a
chaidh seach, like a pleasant dream that has passed. — Ull.
B'esau a rinn so, it was he who did this.
A, pus. pron. His, her, hers, its. Caireadh gach aon air a
leis a lann, let evcri/ one gird his sword on his thigh. — Ull.
Grad theichidh a geillt 's a brnadar, speedili/ her terror and
her dream shall vanish. — Oss. Taiira. Where the succeed-
ing word begins with a vowel, this pronoun is ellipsed ; as,
thuit e bharr' each, he fell from his horse : in speaking of a
female, however, the pronoun is used, and, to prevent an
hiatus, h, with a hyphen (h-), precedes the noun ; as, thuit
i bharr a h-each, she fell from her horse ; but the pronoun is
omitted if the preceding word end with a vowel ; as, a dùs-
gadh le h-osnaich, awakening -with her sobs. — Oss. Taura.
Si/r. ha, ah. Heb. a. Chald. eh. Jrab. ha. I'crs. on.
Gr. ÒV. Tr. a. Manx. e. Corn, e, i.
A', (fur ag), the sign of the present participle. If the parti-
ciple begin with a vowel, ag, or 'g, is most frequently used,
and a', if it begin with a consonant. A gaol 'g a caoidh
is ise ag acain, her beloxed deploring her, and she wailing
bitterly. — Oss. Taura. Le h-osnaich o cadal a dùsgadh,
with her own sobs awakening from her sleep. — Id. Ta h-anam
ag imeachd gu neoil, her spirit is travelling to its clouds. — Id.
It may be said, that in general this particle is used, though
with infinitely more elegance and propriety, in the same
sense as the English use a, when they say, he is a walking,
he is a fishing, tha e ag imeachd, tha e ag iasgachadh.
A, the sign of the infinitive, To.
1
A, the sign of the vocative. O. {Corn, a.) Caomhain do
sholus, a ghrian, spare thy light, 0 sun. — Oss. Trathal.
A Sheallama, theach mo ghaoil ! 0 Selma, thou home of mi/
heart ! — Oss. Gaul,
A, (for ann), prep. In, into, within, on. Ciod chuir sin a
dcheann, what put that into your head? A d'chridhe, in
your heart.
A, sometimes a sign of the preterite tense. Nuair a thuirt e
rium, when he said to me. — Sm.
A, obj. pron. Him, her, it. Cha n'urrainn iad a thogail
no'fhagaii, they could neither lift nor leave him. Oss. Derm.
Theab iad a marbhadh, they had almost killed her.
A, pers. pron. [for e.] Him, he, it. A is never written for e,
but, in many districts of the Highlands, e, he or him, is
pronounced a ; as, Bhuail iad a, they struck him ; ihainig
a, he came.
A, prep, and used before a consonant. Out, out of, from ;
also in, Na h-earb a foirneart, trust not in oppression.
Stew. 0. T., a so, from this time. Arm., a so.
A is often used before many adverbs, prepositions, and conjunc-
tions, and some numerals : a bharr, besides, a blios, here, un this
side, a choirilicli, Jur ever. A cbeana, already; a clK^ile, each
other, a cbianamlij a little ago. A cheann, because; a cblisgeadh,
in a start, soon. A chum, in order to; a dhà, two; a dbà dheue;,
twelve. A ghiiath, always; a h-aon, one; a h-aon deug, eleven ;
a hitha 's adh'oidliche, day and night; a lalhair, present. A leth-
taobti, aside; a niach, out; a nihain, only; a rauigh, without ;
a nail, hither; a nios, up. A nis, a nise, now; a nuas, doicn
hither; a null, a nuiui, thither, across; a reir, according to.
A ris, again. A sios, downwards ; a suas, upziards.
f A, s. A chariot, car, waggon. — Glossary of Colum Cille.
t A, s. An ascent, hdl, promontory.
t Ab, negative particle ; as ablach, i. e. ab-laoch, a brat.

to the llumber. Wjttleet, in bis Supplement to Ptolemy's (.eo-
graphy, calls the place where Columbus first landed in America,
Cuanabi, or Guaiiahani. Both these words have the same sii^nili-
cation, meaning a bay, harbour, or sea of water. Cuanh a harbour,
and nb is water, and i seems to be an Indian termination, (juana-
hani: Guan is the same as cunrn g and c, being palatals, are easily

habar, to unite.) A place where two or more streams

Aberistwyth, in Cardiganshire. " Sen mari," says Box-
horn, " sen duo fluvii junctis aqnis consociantur, locus in
quo fit ha'c conjunclio Britannicè vocatur aber." The place
where a river falls into the sea, or where two rivers join,

One may venture to assert that all over the globe, more especially
in Europe and Asia, the names of rivere eiuiintr in an, ane, en,
eine, ein, in, on, onne, &c. are derived from the old Celtic root,
an, signifying an element, water; seeoji. Tlie Seine is a contraction
of seimli-an, the smooth mater ; and a more descriptive name of that
majestic river could not he given. Rhen-us, the Rltiiie, is reidh-
an, the placid tcater ; a name which well accords with the general
appearance of that river. Garumn-us, Garonne, is garbh-an, the
rough zcater. RIarne, inarbhan, the dead water. So also l*ad-an-us,
the Pu ; and the Asiatic rivers, Arn-on, Jord-an, (jib-on, Jih-on,
&c. I have been agreeably surprised to find that in some of these
remarks I had been anticipated by a few learned and ingenious
etymologists.

A great antiquary observes, that there is a striking resemblance
between many words in the Celtic and Darien h»ni;iiaj4cs which
might give rise to very nsef'ul disquisition. Antilles, is a general
name lor those islands which lie beyond Bermudas, towards the
guljjh of Mexico, including the Lucayan, Bahama, and Caribhecs ;
" and it sÌL'nifics," says he, " water lands, from fan, water, and
tealla, land." There is certainly much acutcness, and seemingly
much truth, in this observation ; for il; will be tbund that, in many
lanf!uages, the word which signifies island, means also mater land :

They took precedence of the otlam/i, ov tlic doctor in medicine.
After the extinction of the Druids, ihey were brought in to pre-
serve the gcnealojiy of faniilits, and to rtpeat genealogical tradi-
tions at the succession of every chieftain, 'liny had great inlluence
over all the powerful men of their time. Their pensons, their
houses, their villages, were sacred. W hatever they asked was
given them ; not always, however, out of respect, hut from fear of
their satire, which frequently followed a denial of their requests.
They lost hy degrees, through their own insolence and importu-
nacy, all the respect which their order had so long enjoyed, and
consequently all their wonted profits and privileges. Martin thus
describes their mbde of studying and com ting tlic muse. " They
shut their doors and windows for a day's time, and lay on then-
backs in darkness with a stone upon their belly, and plaids about
their heads and eyes, and thus they pumped their brains for
rhetorical encomiums."

the name ^a^Joi and liardi. Eia-i Jc waj' avrsC^ nal woirnai fAiXiv ivt
Bafiwt mofta^ci/5-iv. — Diod. Sicutus. There are also amoni; them

Slruho, b. iv. They were not only poets, but musicians. Respect-
ing the etymon of this term, 15ochart, liv. i. Des Colonies des
Phaniciens, chap. 42, obseives, that it is of Hebrew origin, being
derived from the word parat, to modulate or tune ; and this he
endeavours to confirm by a quotation from Tacitus de Mor. derm.
" Ituri in prailia canunt ; sunt et illis hsc qnoque rarrnina, quorum
relatu, quern baritnin vocant, accendunt animos," &c. Dr. John
Macpherson, who, himself a Celt, might have known better, asserts
that it is idle to attempt tracing its etymon, and that, as it is a
monosyllable, it cannot be traced to any root. In opposition to
these opinions, it m.iy be stated that bard is of Celtic origin ;
and tliat it properly means one who extols; being resolvable
into b-ard. And, by the way, I may remark, that ard itself,
a three-lettered monosyllable, is not a radical word, but is de-
rived from the primeval root, «r, high, which is seen in every
language on eartli, [see Ard and liàrr], and, though now gone into
disuse among the Gael, is still retained by the Celts of Bretagne
in their dialect called the Armoric. That hard is derived from
ard, is the more likely, to say the least of it, since the northern
word scald, or poet, whose pursuits were similar to the bard's,
means also an extoller, being derived from alt, ullt, or uld, forms
of the same word, which is common to the Celtic and Gothic
languages, and signifying high. Bard and scald, therefore, are
synonymous terms.
Poetry being, in the opinicm of the ivarlike Celts, the likeliest
method of eternizing their bravery, the bards were held by them in
the highest veneration. Princes and warriors did not disdain to
claim aliinity with that order. The Celts, being passionately fond
of poetry, would listen to no instruction, whether from priest or
philosopher, excepting it was conveyed in rhymes. Hence the
word hard meant also a priest, philosopher, or teacher of any kind.
Thus we find a bard often entrusted nitli the education of a prince;
and about two centuries ago, a Highland chieftain had seldom any
other instructor. Such was the respect paid to the ancient liards,
that, according to Diodorus the Sicilian, already quoted, they could
put a slop to armies in the heat of battle. After any bloody
engagement they raised the song over the deceased, and extolled
the heroes who survived.
" V'os quoque qui fortes animas, belloque peremptas
J^autlihus m lorigum vates diniittitis asvum,
I'lurima s( cnri fudistis carmina bardi."
When a bard appeared in an army, it was eitlier as a lurald or
ambassador ; hence his person and property were sacred in the
midst of his enemies and amid their wildest ravages. In earlier
times he never bore arms ; and Owen asserts that it was unlawful
to unsheathe a weapon in his presence. Among the ancient Hritish
there were, according to .fones, three orders of Imrds : the I'rivardd,
or chief bard, whom the Gael would call Piiomh-bhard ; the Pos-
wardd, who taught what was set forth by the Privardd; and the
Arwyddward, i. c. the ensign bard, or herald-at-arms, who employed
himself in genealogy, and in blazoning the arms of princes and
nobles, as well as altering them according to their dignity or
deserts. Owen observes that their dress was sky-blue, an emblem
of peace.
Among the Irish Celts the bards enjovcd many extraordinary
privileges. 1 he chief bard was called Viicadh, or Ollandi ri dan,
a graduate or doctor in poetry, and bad thirty inferior bards as
attendants, whilst a hard of the second-rate or order had fifteen.
The ancient (jael were not behind any of their brother Cells in this
absurd veneraiion. A bard had lands bestowed on him, which
became hereditary in his family. A Highland chieftain retained
two bards, who, like those of the Irish, had their retinue of dis-
ciples ; and though the othce did by no means procure the same
BAR
deep respect as in times of old, yet, like every department, secular
or otherwise, tliat permits laziness and procures lucre, it was Wlea
to the uttermost man. Its avarice and its iiisolence, together
with other causes, contributed to the decline of the order. Its
indiscrimniate satire and ungrateful abuse brought it finally into
contempt; and the Gaelic bard of the present day is but a
homeless, sarcastic mendicant, who will sing a song of his own
composing for a morsel of bread.
Another Gaelic term for bard is aoisdana ; wliich see.

Beannachd a bhàird, s. The poet's congratulation.
Among the ancient Gael, if at any jovial meetin*;, any man
retired, for however short a time, he was oblit^ed, before he was per-
mitted to resume his seat, to m;tke an apology for his absence in
rhyme. If he had no talent for poetry, or if, from humour, he did
not choose to comply, which was seldom the case, he was obliged
to pay such a proportion of the reckoning as the company thought
proper to propose; and this, according to IMartin, was beunnachd-
a-bhàird.

Breatunn, tuinn, s. m. Britain.
Of all the attempts tliat have been made to decompose this
word, the most ingenious and the most successful is that of
Mr. Clarke, in his Caledonian Bards, mentioned hy Dr. Mac-
Arthur in his Supplementary Observations on the Authenticity of
Ossian's Poems. ìiràith-tniin, the top of the wave, is, according
to him, the meaning of Brealunn. To perceive the force of this
account, one has merely to imagine himself viewing Britain across
the Channel from the north coast of France, from whence came
our Celtic ancestors. Our island, from that quarter, seems a low
dark line, lying along the surface of the deep; and no term
could have been found more descriptive of that appearance than
Bràilh-tonn or Bràith-tuinn, (pronounced J{rai<oo« or Braituinn,)
the land on the top of the waves ? Others will have it that
BrciUunn is a corruption of Hrelinn, a high island, compounded
of the old Celtic term bret, high, and inn, island.

A judgment; a decision; a sudden calamity. La bhreithe-
anais, the day of judgment ; thainig breitheanas ort, a judg-
ment came upon i/ou.
Breitheanas is evidently a contraction o( breith a tiuas, a judg-
ment t'rom above. It is well known that the sentences passed by
the Druids on criminals were often rigorous in the extreme. When
they found it expedient to doom a culprit to a severe punishment,
or to an awtul death, they alleged that they acted by the compul-
sion of Heaven, which directed all their judgments, and of course
approved of all their decisions. Hence their sentence, from the
word breith, meaning any ordinary decision, was called breit/ie-
anuas, or breitheamhnuas, now contracted breitheanas ; meaning
a judgment from God, or any rigorous decision. This word is still
the term among the Gael to express the decision of a judge, or any
sudden calamity.

The ancient Caledonians are said to have made much use of
this root as an article of food. The llebridians. according to
Pennant, chew this root like tobacco, and also make a fermented
hquor from it. They say that it is a ijood medicine; that it promotes
expectoration, and is very serviceable in pulmonary complaints. It
grows in heaths and birchwoods to thesi/e of a filbert: sometimes
four or five roots are joined by fibres. The stalk of it is green, and
bears a red tlower. When the root is pounded and infused, with
yeast superadded, as is done by many of the llebrideans, a palat-
able and w holesome liquor is produced. .Some have supposed that
this is the cliara which the soldiers of Valerius found, as is men-
tioned by Ccesar de Bella Civ. hb. iii.

Cairns or barrou-x are very numerous in the Highlands of Scot-
land, in Ireland, and in Wales. They are also to be seen in
Sweden, in Norway, and in other parts of the Continent, as also
in America. They were intended for monuments ; and the proba-
bility- IS, that they were used as such from the earliest ages by every
people who could associate their ideas of duration with tlie proper-
ties of stone and rock.
These cairns often measure tliree hundred feet in circumference
at tlie base, and twenty feet in height. They consist of stone, and
the whole pile is shaped like a cone. Several opinions have been
formed concerning the intention of them. In several instances thev
have been explored, and found to contain sepulchral urns ; a circum-
stance whicli seems to be decisive in favour of the opinion that thev
are monuments of the dead. Many of these piles consist wholly of
earth ; and this gave rise to an opinion that the coped heaps of stone
were intended for malefactors, and those of eartli for the virtuous
and the brave. I never could ascertain to what extent this distinc-
\ tion was observed. From ancient autliors we learn that malefactors
were buried under heaps of stone, and we know that it was a com-
mon practice among the Druids to erect cairns on the spot where a
criminal had been burnt. Hence fear air charn means an outlaw
among the Gael. Tha e air a charn, he is an outlaw. 'Is oil leam
nach robh do luath fo cham', / wis/i x/our ashes xeere under a cairn.
'B' fliearr leam bhi fo charn chlach', I would rather he under a
cairn, i. e. punished as un outline. Though the ceremony o{ cairn-
raising be still prevalent in the Highlands, the meaning of it is
changed : for on whatever spot a person is found dead, a few stones
are immediately huddled together, and every passenger pays his
tribute of a stone ; the larger it is, the greater is the respect shewn
to the deceased : hence a common saying among the Gael, — 'Cuiridh
mi claeh ad charn, / wilt ndJ to thi/ cairn, betokens a friendly in-
tention, and means, I will keep the remembrance of thee alive. The
ghost of the deceased is supposed to haunt his cairn ; and there arc
few Highlanders who would pass the spot for the first time without
adding to the heap, and thus keepins on good terms with the spectre.
At no remote time the comjriler of this work used to discharge this
debt with devout punctuality, and, if alone and in the dark, would
take the best aim in his power, and fling his contribution from a
prudent distance.

is, of course, verj' unexpeditious, eight men being necessary to dig
as much in one day as a horse would plough in the same time.
Where traces are wanting, the harrow is tied to tlie horse's tail ; but
in wet grounds the glebe is broken by means of a hea\T-toothed
instrument, called i-àcan, which men, women, and children, drag
along the surface of the ground. Tlie following minute description
of the ids-crom is taken from Sinclair's Statistics, Edchi-ruc/ii/lis :
— " This instrument, chiefly used for tillage, consists of a crooked
piece of wood; tlie lower end somewhat tliick, about two feet and
a half in lengdi, pretty straight, and armed at the end with iron,
made thin and square, to cut the earth. The upper end of this in-
strument is called the shaft; whereas the lower is termed tlie head.
The shaft above tlie crook is pretty straight, being six feet long", and
tapering upwards to the end, which is slender. Just below the
crook or angle, which is an obtuse one, there must be a hole,
wherein a strong peg must be fixed for the workman's right foot, in
order to push the instrument into tlie earth ; while in the meantime
standing on his left foot, and holding the shaft firm with botli hands,
when he has in this manner driven the head far enough into the
earth, with one bend of his body, he raises the clod by the iron-
headed part of his instrument, making use of the heel or hind part
of the head as a fulcrum ; in so doing, he turns it over always
towards the left hand, and then proceeds to push for another clod in
the same form. To see six or eight men all at work with this in-
strument, as is often to be seen, standing all upon one les, and
pushing with the other, would be a pretty curious sight to a stranger.
" With all its disadvantages, the cas-ci-om is, of all instruments,
the fittest for turning up the groimd in the countr)' ; for among so
many rocks a plough can do little or nothing ; and where no rocks
are, the earth is commonly so marshy that cattle are not able to
pass over it without sinking deep. Therefore it is of pretty general
use in the Highlands, and is of great antiquity. One man can turn
over more ground with it in a day than four are able to do with a
common spade. For a single man to delve as much ground as
will require two pecks of bear-seed in a day is nothing imcomraon;
nay, some have sown four in a day's work. There are many in-
stances of single men who, in good seasons, have reared as much
corn as, wiUi the help of potatoes, has subsisted the families of six
or seven persons plentifully by die cas-cnim."

from twelve feet to twenty yards in diameter; and there is much di-
versity in regard to the number, magnitude, and arrangement of tlie
. stones. Near the more spacious circles, in which the Druids held
tlieir larger meetings or general assemblies, there was another lesser
circle or scjuare, where the arch-druid, or president, sat. These cir-
cles did not always consist of the same number of obelisks; some con-
sisting of seien, some of twelve, some of nineteen ; some, as Stone-
lienge, of 140, and others, as the splend.d temple which existed a few
years ago at Avebury, Vi'ilts, of 652 ; — numbers which probably con-
veyed some emblematical meaning or reference, which cannot now be
ascertained. The circle at Avebury enclosed many acres. The obe-
lisks are commonly erect, and are often of vast dimensions ; some
have measured from fifteen to twenty feet in height, and ten or twelve
ill circumference. — See Keifstcr. Antiij. Septtnt. In the centre there
was commonly a stone still larger, which served as an altar ; and
when a mass of sufficient magnitude could not be found, they substi-
tuted an oblong flag, supported by columnar pieces of rock. Tliis
altar, the size of which was prodigious, was called cromliiic, or ctuc/i
ileiiclid, the stone of bending, or the worship-stone. The very small
circles, of twelve feet in diameter, Borlase supposes to have been
burial-grounds. Such of those monuments of ancient times as remain
among the Gael, are regarded by them with ignorant veneration,
amounting almost to terror. They are often commanded to lay hands
on them when considered as a deformity to a landlord's grounds ; but
threats of ejectment and imperious remonstrance do not always dis-
pose them to obey. A belief that tliese circles are haunted by super-
natural beings strengtliens this feeling of veneration ; and thus thcv,
for the most part, abide undisturbed on their site of ages.

Such stones were once frequent in Britain. Tliere is one in tlit
grounds of Balfracks, in Perthshire; another near Pitcaidilie, in the
iame county. Mention is made of these stones by the writers of anti-
quity. Pliny says of a rocking-stone which was near Harpasa, a tow n
in Asia : " Cautes horrenda, uno digito mobibs, eadem si toto cor-
pore impellatur, resistens." — Pi.inv, bb. ii. c. 69. There are also
klones in the far-famed isle of lona, which are called clac/ian-bràtli ;
they are within the precincts of the burial-ground, and are placed on
ilie pedestals of a cross, and have been, according to Pennant, the
119
supports of a tomb. They derive their name from the belief that the
liralh, or world's end, will not come until the stone on which they stand
is worn through.

Dniicliccil order, wlio, under the primitive bardic system, were
employed in going periodical circuits to instruct tlie people,
answered the purpose of a priesthood ; but in later times llie
name implieil a society of wanderers, or those bards who strolled
iiboul like Knglisli harpers. These wandering classes originated
when the priesiliood was a distinct lirancli from the bardic system ;
lor the latter then ceascil to have suilicient means to support its
o«n luemhers. As a compensation, a law was m.ide, that such as
were of this description should have regular periodical circuits,
and receive lees according to the qualiiy of those they visited.
This ended at lust in mendicancy.

phan, a chariot.) A coft'er, a little box ; a car, a chariot ;
an ark ; a cofiin. This last rendering is evidently derived
from cobhan. — The ancient Gaelic poets often use cob-

as it frequently means a chariot, may be a contraction of
co-bhuain, i. e. a heaving down on all sides, in allusion to the
ancient British method of fastening scythes to their war-
chariots ; or it may be derived from cobh, victory. That
cobhan was an old British term for a chariot, is evident

Wlien one Highland chieftain received any provocation or slight
from another, or when he had reason to apprehend an nivasion of
Ins territories, he straightway formed a cross of ligln wood, seared
its extremities in the fire, and extinguished it in tlie Ijlood of some
animal (commonly a goat) slain for the ]3iirpose. He next gave it
to some messenger in whose fidelity and expedition he could confide,
who immediately ran with it to the nearest hamlet, and delivered it
into the hands of the first active brother vassal he met; mentioning
merely the name of the place of gathering, which he had previously
learned from his chief. This second person, who well understood
the purport of tlie message, proceeded to the next Village with the
same expedition and with the same words as his precursor. And
thus, fi-om place to place, was this instmraent conveyed through
extensive districts, with a celerity tliat can scarcely be credited.
Degradation or deatli fell upon all who refused the summons of
this mute messenger of bloodshed. In 1745, the crunn-tàir, or
crois-tàir, traversed the wide district of Breadalbane, upwards of
thirty miles, in three hours. The crann-tàir wns also in use among
tlie Scandinavian nations.

The nuts called Molucca nuts, or Molucca bcanx, are found on
the shores of the Western Isles, where the kernels of tliem are used
as a cure for diarrhoea and dysenterj'. In what way Molucca nuts
should be cast ashore among the Hebrides, has been explained in
the following maimer: — These nuts, or beans, are the seeds of the
Dolichus urcns Guilundia Bundiic. G. Ronduccttu, and Mimosa
Scandens of Linnaeus, natives of Jamaica. They grow in \aM
quantities along the rivers of diat island, and are generally sup-
posed to be dropped into the water, and carried into the sea ; from
thence, by tides and currents, and the predominancy of the east
wind, to be forced through the Gulf ot Florida mto the North
American ocean ; in the same manner as the Sargasso, a plant
growing among rocks in the seas around Jamaica. When arrived
in that part of the Atlantic, they fall in with the westerly winds,
which blow two-thirds of the year in that tract, and which may help
to waft them to the shores of the Hebrides.

The zruil was a six-stringed instrument used of old in Scotland
and Ireland. It is now confined to the mountains of North Wales.
The cruit of the Gael, and the cnodd of the Welch, were the same
instrument.
" Romanusque li/ra plaudat tibi, Barbaras harpa,
Gracus Achilliaca, Crotta Britannia cantet."
Venantius, lib. 7. Caim. 8.
From these lines, which were written in the sixth century by
Venantius Fortunatus, some have imagined the harpa or clarsach
and the crotta or cruit, to have been different kinds of instruments •
and yet a Bishop of Lyons, who wrote a century earlier, makes
mention of a barbarian Cythara, shaped triangularly like the Greek
A, not unlike the Irish harp, which seems to favour the opinion that
the crait and the clarsach were but diflerent names for the same in-
strument. The probability is, that the crait and the clarsach dif-
fered only in this, that the strings of the former were sinews or cat-
gut, and those of the latter were brass wire.
The Kev. Mr. Evans, in describing the Welch crwdd, has the
following expressions : " Ex sex chordis felinis constat, nee eodem
modo quo ^iolinum modulatur, quamvis à figura haud multum
abludat."

the liquor was obtained by the latter method.

The curach, or boat of leather and wicker, may appear to the
moderns a very unsafe vehicle to trust to in tempestuous seas ;
yet our forefathers fearlessly committed themselves, in tliese shght
pinnaces, to tlie mercy of the most violent weather. They were
much in use in the Western Isles, even long after the art of building
CUR
C U S
boats of wood was introduced into those parts by the Nor-
wegians. The size of tliese pinnaces must have been considerable ;
for ilarianus Scotus makes mention of three Irishmen who came
in a curach without sails or oars, and landed in Cornwall, after a
voyage of seven days. Sidonius ApoUinaris, Carm. vii., observes,
that the Saxon pirates of his time frequently crossed the British
seas in such boats.
A ruder and more ancient vessel was the biorlinn or birlhm,
compounded of the Celtic bir or bior and linn. Pennant deviates
from his usual accuracy when he derives birlinn from the Nor-
wegian hyrdinga.

Deis-iùil, s. /. A prosperous course; a turning from east
to west in the direction of the sun. Deis-iùil air gach ni,
the right course in every thing. — Old Saying.
This is a Druidical term, and is descriptive of the ceremony
obser\-ed by the Druids, of walking round tlieir temples, by the
south, in the course of their divinations ; keeping the temple always
on the right. This course was deemed prosperous; the contrary
(tual, i. e. tuath-iidl,) fatal, or at least unpropitious. From this
ancient superstition are derived several customs which are still
retained amongst us; such as drinking over the left thumb, as
Toland expresses it, or according to the course of the sun.
" Some of the poorer sort of people in the Western Isles,"
Martin says, " retain the custom of performing these circles sun-
ways about the persons of their benefactors three times, when they
bless them, and wish good success to all their enterprises. Some
are very careful, when they set out to sea, that the boat be first
rowed about sunways ; and if this be neglected, they are afraid their
voyage may prove unfortunate. I had this ceremony paid me,"
contmues the tourist, " when in the isle of Isla, by a poor woman,
after I had given her an alms. I desired her to let alone that com-
pliment, for that I did not care for it ; but she insisted to make
these three ordinary turns, and then prayed that God, and Mac
Charmaig, the patron saint of that island, might bless and prosper
me in all my aft'airs."
When a Highlander goes to drink out of a consecrated fountain,
lie auiiroaches it by going round tlie place from east to west; and
at funerals, tlie procession observes the same direction in drawing
near to the grave. Hence also is derived the old custom of
describing, sunways, a circle with a burning brand about houses,
cattle, corn, and corn-fields, to prevent their being burnt, or in any
way injured by evil spirits, or by witchcraft. This fiery circle was
also made around women as soon as possible after parturition, and
also around newly-born babes. These circles were in later times
described by midwives, and were deemed effectual against the
intrusion of the daoine-sith or sUlmhean (fairies), who were parti-
cularly on the alert in times of childbed, and not unfrequently
carried infants away (according to vulgar legends), and restored
them afterwards, but sadly altered in features and in personal
appearance.
Infants stolen by fairies, Martin remarks, are said to have vora-
cious appetites, constantly craving food. In this case it was usual
for those who believed that their children were taken away, to dig
a grave in the fields on cpiarter day, and there to lay the fairy
skeleton till next morning, at wliich lime the parents went to the
place, where they doubted not to find their own child instead of the
skeleton.

Dreug, dreige, s. (druidh-eug.) A meteor; a falling star ;
a fire-ball.
Among the ancient Britons, a meteor was supposed to be a
vehicle for carrying to paradise the soul of some departed Druid.
This superstition, Hke many others, had its origin in Druidical
artifice. The priests of that order, to strengthen their influence,
took occasion from every aerial phenomenon to bhnd and overawe
the ignorant ; and as they laid claim to extraordinary sanctity, they
naturally went to the broad fields of the sky for strengtheners to
their illusions. So well did they engraft their absurd opinions, that,
even at this distant day, the appearance of a ball of fire creates,
among the more ignorant Gael, a belief that some illustrious spirit
has taken its flight to eternity. From this circumstance we may
infer, with Dr. Smith, that Dreug is a contraction of Druidh-eug, a
Druid's death. This ingenious antiquarian thinks, that the Druidical
fantasy, just mentioned, must have had its origin in a tradition of
Enoch's fiery chariot.

Some writer-i, as Pliny, derive Driiidh from tlie Greek J{w, an
oak ; but the proper etymon is the ancient Celtic vocable dru, (rom
which S«w is taken. The Uruids had their name before the Creek
language "as in existence; and it is well known that the Greek
itself was partly taken from the Celtic.
The Uruidh was a priest or philosopher among the Celts ; but,
among the Gael, the word Druidh commonly signifies a magician,
one skilled in occult sciences. P^on Chrysostom observes, that
the Celtic kings could not so much as design any public measure
without the Druids, who were adepts in divination and philosophy ;
insomuch that these priests exercised regal authority, and that the
kings, who had but tlie semblance of power, were in truth their
servants.
The Druids bore none of the burdens of government. They
chose officers for the state and for the army ; and, w.thout their
consent, even the kings could not declare war. In all respects they
affected a distinction from the laity. Their tunics reached to their
heels, while those of others only reached the knee. They suffered
their beards to grow, whilst others (according to ToJ^nd) shaved all
theirs but the upper lip. Their hair was cropped, whilst that of
olliers was long. The Druids were entrusted with, or rather, they
procured for themselves the trust of, the education of youth. The
children of the nobility crowded about them for education ; and
with them diey retired into their solitudes (according to I'omponius
Mela), and kept their pupils for twenty years under discipline.
That tlicy were learned, is not to be questioned ; for they possessed
all the learning of their times. They believed and taught the im-
mortality of the soul. Ktur^Cu }.«» Txa xuTdT; i Ilvfayi^iu Xsyss, in

That the British Druids made great progress in astronomy seems
evident from Phdurcli, de Facie in Orbe Lunte, who says that they
observed a feast in honour of Saturn every thirticlh year, the time
which the planet Saturn takes to complete its course round the sun;
and lliat the feast took place on its entrance into the second sign
(Taurus) of the Zodiac. Diodorus the Sicilian, already quoted,
makes mention of a certain Hyperborean island (Britain), less than
Sicily, opposite to Celtiberia, where the Boreadae (Bards or Druids)
could brmg the moon near them, so as to see its opacity, its con-
vexity, its mountains, and other phenomena on its surface. Some
have, with reason, understood this passage to allude to telescopic
observations.
Cajsar, in writing of theii^ in tlie sixth book of his Commentaries,
has " multa praterea de sideribus, atque eorum motu, de inuiidi ac
terrarum magnitudine, de natura rerum .... disputant ;" and Mela
writes, — "Hi terra mundique magnitudinem et formain, motus
ea-li ac siderum .... scire profitentur."
That they were proficients in mechanical philosophy, the obelisks
of .Stonelienge and of other places are so many standing proofs.
Casar observes, that the British Druids worshipped a divinity
named Taranis or Taran, which in Welch means thunder, as does
tlie Gaelic tnninn. In the latter times of the Druidical order, all
the principal families in the Hebrides had their Dniidh, who fore-
told future events, and decided all causes, civil and ecclesiastical.
The British Druids, according to Dr. Sinilli, owed their decline to
the following circumstance: — Tralhal, the grandfather of I'ingal,
being chosen by them generalissimo (vergobretus) of the Caledonian
anny sent against the llomans, did not feel disiiosed, on his return,
to resign his authority, even at Uio command of the Druids. Hence
arose a civil war, in which the army of the church was defeated in
several battles. These overthrows were fatal to the Druids ; they
made several attempts to regain their dominion, but all were
ineffectual. They retired to l-thonn, l/ic hlc vf Waves, or lona,
where, it is said, their order was not quite extinct on die arrival of
St. Columbus in the sixth century.

height ; and adon, a lord. Arab, tun, a height ; and doun,
don, high, noble. Old Pers. doen, a hill; dun, powerful;

t Bid, Ed. A word used on discovery of any animal of prey, or

to be in readiness to seize the animal. Hence, perhaps, the
%iii of the Greeks ; the edo of the Latins ; the eat of the
En^^lish ; the ed of the Irish, which signifies cattle. So the

or cued (now cuid), means a share ; literally, common food.

edra, tlie time of the morning when cattle are brought from

" The fulmair is a grev fowl," Martin observes, " about the size
of a moor-hen. It has a strong bill, with wide nostrils ; as often as it
eoes to sea, it is a certain sign of a western wind. This fowl, the
natives say, sucks its food out of live whales, and eats sorrel ; for
both these sorts of food are found in its nest. When any one aji-
proaches the fulmair, it spouts out of its bill about a quart of pure
oil : the natives sur^^rise the fowl, and preserve the oil, and burn it
in their lamps. It is good against rheumatic pains and aches in
the bones. The inhabitants of the adjacent isles value it as a ca-
tholicon for diseases; some take it for a vomit, otliers for a purge.
It has been successfully used against rheumatic pains in Edm-
bur^h and London. In tlie latter' it has been lately used to assuage
the swelling of a sprained foot, a cheek swelled with the toothache,
and for discussing a hard bile, and proved successful in all tlie three
cases." — Martin's Dtscription of the Wi'sttni Isles.

G.
G, y. (goibh.) The seventh letter of the Gaelic alphabet.
When this letter is followed by one or more of the vowels,
a, 0, n, it sounds nearly like g in rjap, got, goose ; as, gath,
take; s^ovt, fiimine ; guth, I'Oj'ce. G, at the end of a word,
if preceded by one or more of the vowels, a, o, 21, or a
liquid, sounds most frequently like k in rook, hook ; as,
rug, bore ; thug, gave. When it is preceded by i, or fol-
lowed by e or i, it has a mellow sound not unlike g in girl;
as, gin, produce; geire, sharpness. Gh, before a, 0, or u,
have an aspirated power to which there is no correspondent
sound in English ; but, when followed by e or >, they sound
like ij in ye ; as, ghios, (pronounce ghees), towards. Gh, at
the end of words or syllables, are seldom pronounced ; as,
righ, a king ; rioghachd, a kingdom.
'G, (contr. for ag), prep. At. This preposition, when pre-
fixed to an infinitive or to most nouns, gives them the force
or meaning of the pr. part. 'G is used between two
vowels ; as, Tha mi 'g ol, / am [a<] drinking. Co so 'g
aom air luirg ? wiw is this bending over his staff? — Oss.

is written entire ; as, Manns ag iarruidh comhraig, Manos
wishing for battle. — Oss. Bha anam ag eiridh gun fhiamh,
his soul ivas rising fearlessly. — Oss. Tern. Ag is used not
unfrequently even though followed by a consonant; as,

as, Turlach a' caoidh a chloinne, Turlach beivailing his

GÀBI1ADH-BIIEIL, s. /. A Druidical trial by the ordeal of
fire ; literally, the jeopardy of Bel, the god of the Druids :
hence it comes to denote any kind of danger, emergency,
hazardous situation; hazard of such a nature that one's
escape is a miracle.
Tlie Druids used the ordeal of fire in cases where the innocence
of an accused person could not be ascertained by evidence. They
obliged that person to walk, barefooted on tlie hot ashes and embers
of tlie Samh-theine, or iire of peace. If they had any ground to be-
lieve him innocent, yet, if the muUitude were impressed with an
opinion of his guilt, they, to make a shev/ of rigour and impartiality,
passed sentence of punishment on him ; but, with the craftiness of
their character, and the ever-scheming trickery of their profession,
they privately provided him with anointment well known among the
ancients, (see Ovid, book ii. fable 1, and Servius, on line 78 of the
eleventh il'.neid,) and among modern jugglers, by an aiijilication of
which to his feet and hands, he could go tlirough the ordeal unin-
jured, and thus establisli his innocence. Dr. Smith thinks it pro-
bable that Paul tlie Apostle, who might have seen this trial among
the nations whicli he travelled through, alludes to it in 1 Cor.

This name, in its most common acceptation, is applicable to
those only who inhabit the north and north-western parts of Scot-
land, including the Hebrides ; and to ihem the following remarks
are meant to apply : —
The Gael are confessedly the unmixed and unconquered posterity
of the Celts, who first peopled Britain from the opposite shores of
Gaul, and who left monuments of their language in the names
of streams, rivers, mountains, and districts, all over England.
The Caledonians of ancient aulliors were Gael ; but, of old, they
occupied a much wider tract of country than in aftertimes.
('aledonia, according to Tacitus, Dio, and Solinus, comprehended
all that country to the north of the Friths of Forth and Clyde ; from
tlie southern parts of which the Gael were compelled to retire, to
make room for hoards of ferocious incursors from the south, — tlie
Cimbri first, and latterly the Belga. The Lowlands of Scotland
are now inhabited by a race of men as distinct from the Gael as a
difference of language, ancestry, and manners, can render them.
Though every Scottish Gael, therefore, be a Caledonian, every
Caledonian is not a Gael.
The testimony of ancient authors, the poetry of the Gael, the
remains of their buildings, their traditional records, and, above all,
the smoothness and harmony of their language above every other
branch of the Celtic tongue, present, when considered in the whole,
an incontrovertible argument that they were, once on a time, not
merely more cultivated than their neighbours, but that they passed
through ages of very high civilization and refinement.
The Gael lived under a regular government, modelled and per-
fected by their Druids, until the accession of Kenneth Mac Alpin,
towards the middle of the ninth century. That monarch, after his
conquest of llie I'icts, transferred his seat of government amongst
them ; and from that period may be dated the anarchy, the con-
fusion and rapine, which so speedily overspread their country.
Adventurous and aspiring individuals began to gather bands of
retainers, — chieftainry raised its head, and established its strength
on the ruins of legitimate power, — jealousy, feud, and clannisli
animosity were the consciiucnl and inseparable evils of this altered
state ; and, in a short time, they wrought a speedy but thorough
revolution in their eliaracter. The refined feelings, so conspicuous
in the poems of Ossian and his contemporary poets, disappeared
from amongst them, — methodical warfare and reflecting bravery
gave ground, — and headlong daring came instead thereof; and of
all the good qualities of their fathers, those only of hospitality,
faithfulness, and courage remained, and have continued, amid all
278
the vicissitudes of their history, without change and without
blemish.
The Gael continued under a feudal government until the memo-
rable disturbances in the last century, when they were taught, by a
dearly bought experience, that their pathless fastnesses could present
no hiding-place from insulted royally, and that tliere was an arm in
the land still stronger than a chieftain's power.
The modern Gael is naturally an indolent and unindustrious
being ; yet, when there is occasion for activity and exertion, he is
not often to be paralleled. He is modest and unassuming. His
courtesy and good breeding are unstudied and becoming ; and no
feeling of inferiority betrays him into distraction or awkwardness of
manner. Shrewd, inquisitive, and inteUigent, he has his faculties
collected and at his command. He is sensible of kindness, and
deeply susceptible of gratitude ; but, with all, he is superstitious,
haughty, passionate, and vindictive.
A person who, in the year 1597, wrote an account of the Gael,
describes them as follows: — " They seethe their flesh in tripe, or
in the skinne of the beast, filling the same full of water. Now and
then, in hunting, they straine out the blood, and eate the flesh
rawe : their drink is broth of sodden flesh : they love very well the
drink made of whey. * * * *
" They delighte in marled clothes, specially that have long
stripes of sundry colours. They love cliieHy purple and blue.
Their predecessors used short mantles, or playds of divers colours,
sundry wayes divided ; and, amongst some, the same custom
is observed to this day ; but, for the most part, now they are
brown, near to the colour of the liadder, to the effect, when they
lye amongst the hadder, the bright colour of their pl.iydes may not
bewray them ; witli the which, rather coloured than clad, they
suffer the most cruel tempests that blowe in tlie open field, in such
sort, that vnder a wrytlie of snow they sleep sound. In their
houses also they lye upon tlie ground, laying betwixt tliem and it
brakens and hadder, the rootes thereof down, and the top vp, so
prettily layde together, that they are soft as feather beds, and
much more wliolesorae ; for the tops are dry of nature, whereby it
dries the weake humours, and restores againe the strength of the
sinews troubled before ; and that so evidently, that they who at
evening eo to rest sore and weary, rise in the morning whole and
able. * * » *
" If they travel to another countrie, they reject feather beds and
bedding of their lioste. They wrappe themselves in their own
playds, so taking their rest, careful lest that barbarous dc:licacie (as
they tearine it) corrupt their natural liardnesse. * * * *
" They fight with broad swords and axes. In place of a drum
they vse a bagpipe. They delight much in musike, but chiefly in
harps and clarsichoes of their own fashion. Tlie strings of the
clarsichoes are of brasse wire, and the strings of tlie harps of sinews,
whicli strings tliey strike either with their nayles grownig long, or
else with an instrument appointed for that vse. Tliey take great
pleasure to decke their harps and clarsichoes with silver and
precious stones ; and poor ones, that cannot attayne hereunto, decke
them with chrystall. Tuky sing verses prettily compound,
CONTAINING, I OR THE MOST PART, PRAYSES OF VAtlANT MEN.
There is not almost any other argument whereof their rhymes
entreat. They speak the auncient French language (Celtic),
altered a little."
Dr. Martin, in describing the dress of the Hebrideans of his time,
has the following remarks: " The first habit worn by persons
of distinction in the islands, was the trin-croich, or saffron shirt.
The ordinary number of ells used to make this robe was twenty-
four; it was the upper garb, reaching below the kiu'cs, and was tied
with a belt round tne middle ; but the Islanders have laid it aside
about a hundred years ago.
" They now generally use coat, waist, and breeches, as elsewhere ;
and on their heads wear bonnets made of thick cloth, some blue,
some black, and some grey.
" Many of the people wear troivis ; .some have them very fine,
woven of stockings ; some are made of cloth ; some are coloured,
and oUiers striped. The latter are as well shaped as the former,
lying close to the body, from the middle downwards, and tied round
with a belt above the haunches.
"Tliere is a .square piece of cloth which hangs down before. The
measure for shaping the trowis is a stick of wood, whose length is
a cubit, and that divided into the length of a finger and half a
finger, so that it requires more skill to make it than the ordinary
habit.
" The shoes anciently worn were a piece of the hide of a deer,
cow, or horse, with the hair on, being tied behind and before witli a
piece of leather. The generality now wear shoes having one thin
G A I
G A I
sole only, and shaped after the right and left foot, so that what is
for one loot will not serve the other.
" But persons of distinction wear the garb in fashion in the south
of Scotland.
" The plad, worn only by the men, is made of fine hose, the
threads as fine as can be made of the kind : it consists of divers
colours, and there is a great deal of ingenuity required in sorting
the colours, so as to be agreeable to the nicest fancy. For this
reason, the women arc at great pains, first to give an exact pattern
of the ptud upon a piece of wood, having the number of every thread
of the stripe on it. The length of it is commonly seven double ells.
The one end hangs by the middle over the left arm ; the other, going
round the body, hangs by the end over the left arm also ; the riglit
hand above it is to be at liberty to do any thing upon occasion.
Every isle differs from each other in the fancy of making /)/«</.«, as
to the stripes, in breadth and colours. This humour is different
through the main land of the Highlands, in so far that they wlio have
seen tiiose places, are able, at the first view of a man's plud, to guess
the place of his residence.
" When they travel on foot, the phd is tied on the breast with a
bodkin of bone or wood, (just as the spina of the Romans, according
to the description of C. Tacitus) ; the plad is tied round tlie middle
with a leather belt ; it is plaited from the belt to the knee veiy
nicely : this dress, for footmen, is found much easier and lighter
tlian breeches or trowis.
"The ancient dress wore by the women, and which is yet wore by
some of the vulgar, called arisad (earrasaid,) is a white plad, having
a few small stri pes of black , blue, and red ; it reached from the neck to
tlie heels, and was tied before on tlie breast with a buckle of silver
or brass, according to the quality of the person. I have seen some
of the former of an hundred marks value : it was as broad as any
ordinary pewter plate ; the whole curiously engraven with various
animals, &c. There was a lesser buckle, which was wore in the
middle of the larger, and aboi e two ounces weight : it had in tlie
centre a large piece of crystal, or some fine stone, and this was set
all round with several finer stones of a lesser size.
" The plad, being plaited all round, was tied with abelt below the
breast ; the belt was of leather, and several pieces of silver inter-
mixed with the leather, like a chain. The lower end of the belt was
a piece of plate, about eight inches long and three in breadth,
curiously engraven, the end of which was curiously adorned with fine
stones, or pieces of red coral. They wore sleeves of scarlet cloth,
closed at the end as men's vests, with gold lace round 'em, having
plate buttons set with fine stones. Tlie head-dress was a fine
kerchief of linen strait about the head, hanging down the back
taper-wise : a large lock of hair hangs down their cheeks above
their breast, the lower end tied with a knot of ribands."
As the causes no longer exist which separated the Gael from the
observation and fellowship of dieir neighbours, so their character,
as a distinct people, is becoming yearly less and less marked.
A chieftain has no longer occasion for crowds of retainers, because
he is now safe without the protection of his clan. Oppression, too,
tames their spirit ; disgust drives them from their homes ; enter-
prise carries them into society, and throughout the world ; yet it is
questionable, if, in their many multitudes of migrators, there could
ever be found one who became so thoroughly deformed by a change
of country or of circumstances, as to prefer, in his heart, the fairest
climes and the politest people, to the rocky land of his nativity, and
the simple society of his early years.

Gard is a verj' ancient, probably a primeval, term, and is seen

Chuld. St/r. gert, to enclose. Arab, and Old Pers. gheid, a tinvn.
Modern Pers. gard, a town. Run. Sclav. Old Germ. gard. Russ,
gorod, gorad, n«dgrod. Hence Constantinople, in the Old Russ, h
Tsargrad or Tsargorad. Gnrd means a fenced place or an enclosure,
in the Phenician, Punic, Parlhic, and Samaritan tongues. From
signifying an enclosure, it calne in course of time to denote a fortified
city. It has this meaning in the Old Persic or Pahlavi. From gcrd
comes KioT«, the name of a city in Armenia, meaning an enclosed
or fortified place. Ksfra -aeXn iraro Ajii!y/»v, Kerta, a city of the
Armenians. — Hcyschins. Synon)Tnous with the Celtic gard or gart
was the Syrian Kerta or Karfa ; whence the Latin Carthago, and,
as it is more correctly written, the Punic Karthada (gart-àite), the
fortified place. — See CeHarius De Geograpliia, lib. iii. cap. 6.
From gard or gart are derived all the names of towns ending in
certa,cart, gard, OT grud ; as, Tigranicerta, Carcathiocerta, Artasi-
garta, in Armenia ; Belgrad, Stutgard, Stargard, &c.

Tacitus, De 3/»;-. Germ., observes, tliat such weapons were used
by the Persians, a Belgic nation of German extraction. In one of
Ossian's poems (Fingal), CuchuUin is described as having slain his
friend FeardatJi, a young Caledonian warrior, with a spear heated
into a flame by tlie wind, i. f. by the armourer's forge. This
weapon, according to some, must have been the jaculum ferve-
factum mentioned by Csesar, and the cateia [gath-teth pronounced
ga^tè] of Virgil :
" Teutonico rilu soliti torquere cateias."
The clatte ambusta of Ammianus, lib. xxxi., seem to have been
the same as the Caledonian galfi-ttth : — " Barbari, ingentes clavas
in nostros conjicientes ambustas, comu perrumpunt." This ap-
pears to be a simpler and better illustration of the nature of the
cateia than that of Aventinus, who asserts that it was an engine for
throwing stones. Isodorus comes nearer the truth : he says (with-
out making any mention of its being heated) that it was a weapon
which, owing to its weight, could not be thrown to a great distance,
but was very destructive.

On: composition of this vocable, Or. Smith infers, with much reason,
that the Druids were no strangers to the making of glass ; the know-
302
ledge of which art, he observes, they might have obtained from llie
first inventors, the Phoenicians. Dr. Smith presumes fiirther, that
the Druids were so perfect in die art, and so well acquainted witlj
the properties of glass, as to apply it, with the most eminent success,
to the purposes of astronomy. Jlr. Huddleston, die very ingenious
editor of " Toland's History of the Druids," touching diis opinion,
is somewhat sarcastic on Smith. He remarks that the telescopic
hypothesis rests on a mistaken meaning of a quotation from
Hecateus, who says, that the Boreada bring the moon very near
them ; and that the Boreadte, even granting diey were Druids,
only asserted a prerogative which was common to all magicians,
namely, " to bring down the moon ;" and, consequently, that the
allusion is made to incantation, and not to telescopes. All this
does not in the least repel the opinion of Dr. S., which derives
additional strength from Diodorus Siculus, who makes mention of
an Hyperborean island, from vfhich the moon was to be seen,
apparently at a small distance from the earth, and exhibiting
several inequahties and eminences on its surface. This is not the
language of incantation, but a just description of the moon as seen
through glasses of very considerable power.
Gloine nan Druidii. The Druids' glass, or the Druids'
egg; by the Lowland Scots called addcrstanes.
This amulet was in high esteem among die Druids. It was
one of their distinguisliing badges, and was accounted to possess
the most extrjordinary virtues. There is a passage in Pliny's
Natural History, book xix., minutely describing the nature and
properties of this amulet. The following is a translation of it : —
" Tliere is a sort of egg in great repute among the Uauls, of which
the Greek writers have made no mention. A vast number of
serpents are twisted together in summer, and coiled up in an
artilicial knot by their saliva and slime ; and this is called the
serpent's egg. The Druids say tliat it is tossed in the air with
hissings, and must be caught in a cloak before it touch the earth.
The person who thus intercepts it, flies on horseback ; for the
serpents pursue him until prevented by intervening water. This
egg, though bound in gold, will swim against die stream. And as
the magi are cunning to conceal their frauds, they give out thaj
this egg must be obtained at a certain age of the moon. I have
seen that egg as large and round as a common-sized apple, in
a chequered cartilaginous cover, and worn by the Druids. It is
wonderfully extolled for gaining law-suits, and access to kings. It
is a badge which is worn with such ostentation, that I knew a
Roman knight, a \'ocontian, who was slain by the stupid emperor
Claudius, merely because he wore it in his b7east when a law-suit
was pending."
My subscribers are referred to Huddleston's edition of Toland,
for some very ingenious conjectures on the subject of this enig-
matical account of the Dniids' egg.
The amulets of glass a:id stone, which are still preserved and
used with implicit faith in many parts of the Highlands, and are
conveyed, for the cure of diseases, to a great distance, seem to
luive their origin in this bauble of ancient priestcraft.

Gradas, ain, s. m., from grad. (ir. id.) Parched corn.
Gran gradain, parched grains of corn. — Stew. Sam.
GruJun was corn or meal prepared after tlie ancient custom of
tlic Gael. A woman sittin;; down, took a handful of corn, and
holding: it in her left hand by the stalks, she set fire to the ears,
whicli were at once in a flame. In her right hand slie held a stick,
wiili wliich she dexterously beat the grain at the very instant when
the husks were quite burnt. By this simple process, which is still
followed in remote parts of the Highlands, corn may be cut down,
dressed, winnowed, dried, ground, and b;iked, within half an hour.
In separating the meal from tlie liusks, instead of sieves they
made use of a sheep's skin stretched round a hoop, minutely per-
forated by a small hot iron. Tlie bread which is thus made is con-
sidered very salubrious, and is extremely pleasant to the palate of
a Highlander. Prepared in the same simple manner was the
parched corn of holy writ, such as tliat which is mentioned in the
book of Ruth.

Here are seen many Druidical circles of stone; and as the sun
was an object of worship among tlie ancient Gael, as appears from
an inscription dug out of the ruins of the Roman prsetenture
between the tirths of Fortli and Clyde, alluded to by Dr. John
Macpherson in his Dissertations, it is presumable that the meaning
here given ia correct. Some say that the heath received its name
from the clan Grant, who inhabit that country. The antiquarian
already .mentioned tliinks it more probable that the Grants, in
Gaelic called Granntaich, h;id their name from the country, and
and not from a pretended l,e Gi-and, as the genealogists of the
tribe affirm.

H.
I A D
H, (uath, the white-thorn tree.) The eit^hth letter of the
Gaelic alphabet. It is used in the Gaelic, not properly as
a letter, but as an aspiration. When it is prefixed to a
word beginning with a vowel, it has the same degree of
aspiration with h in hall, hurt; as, nah-oighean, the maids ;
na h-oidhchc, of the nirjht. II is also required between
the negative 7u and the following word, if it begin with a
vowel ; as, ni h-è, «o< he ; ni h-eadh, no ; ni h-iad, not they ;
ni h-eudar, 7ntist not. It is also used in the beginning of
various interjections; as, haha! an interjection of mirth;
hoilo ! haibh ! interjections used in calling alotid to a person.
Hut! hud! tut! pshaw! Ho, ho ! an interjection of de-
fiance, and sometimes of disappointment . H-ugad, to thee;
take cure; h-ugam, to me; h-ugaibh, to you; — said to
persons when they are requested to take immediate care
of their persons, as from a blow, or any impending danger.
These words are also written respectively, chugad, chugam,
chutjaibh.
I.
I, (iogh.) The ninth letter of the Gaelic alphabet. The
Gael, differing from their brother Celts in Brittany and
Cornwall, never use i as a consonant in the shape of^'.
In this respect the Gaelic resembles the Greek and the
ancient Latin, in which j, the consonant form of i, was
never used as a distinct character. The Gaelic i has two
sounds : (1.) both long and short, like ee in deem; as, sin,
stretch; cir, comb: short, like ee in feet ; as, bith, exis<-
e'lce ; sir, seek. (2.) Short and obscure, like i in miss ; as,
is, am, art, is, are.
I, s. pron. {Corn. hi. Arm. hi. Laf. ea.) She, her. Bhuail
si i, she struck her ; ise, emphatic form nf i, she, her, in

I Choltim chillc, lona, or St. Columba's Isle, in the Hebrides,
was called I by way of eminence. The far-famed monastery of
this island, it is well known, was founded about the middle of the
sixth century by St. Colum, or Columba, an Irish priest, who in
a fit of displeasure had left his native country, after having involved
it in three diflerent wars. According to Keating and Adainnan,
he was of very high birth, but the cowl and tonsure presented to
his eccentric mind charms superior to those of civil distinctions.
He was held in high estimation by tlie princes of Britain and of
foreign countries, who often applied to him for deciding their con-
troversies. A curious circumstance related of him is, that he had
a rooted aversion to cows, and would not suffer one to be seen
within sight of his sacred tenements. " Far am bi bo," he was
wont to say, "bithidh bean, is far am bibean bithidh malluchadh;"
where there is a cow llnrc is a wumun,und wlurc there is a woman
there is swearing. This sentiment has, ever since, continued in the
(jaelic language.
The undisputed sacredness of the monastery was, no doubt, one
reason why the remains of so many kings of various nations were
crowded to this distant and lonely island : the following very
ancient prophecy may have been another : —
Seachd bliadhna roimh 'n bhràlh,
Thig muir thair Kirinn re aon tràth.
Is thair Ihi ghuirm ghlais;
Ach snamhaidli I Cholum clàraich.
A literal Translation.
Seven years before the world's end
Tlie sea shall come over I'jirin at one tide,
And over green grassy Ishi;
But I Colm shall float upon the flood.
Saint Columba, of whom it is handed down that he uttered his
discourses in verse to suit tlie taste of the people, uttered tlie
following prediction in his last discourse to his disciples. Kvery
person who has read Dr. Jolinson's Tour to the Hebrides, cannot
fail remarking the resemblance between the latter part of this
prophecy, and the striking thoughts on the changes of human affairs
in tiic illustrious tourist's description of lona.
An I mo chridhe, I nioghraidh.
An aite gulh mànaich bithidh geum ba ;
320
Ach mun tig an saoghal gu crich
Bithidh I mar a blia.

Instead of a monk's voice, there sh,all be the lowing of cattle;
But, ere the world comes to an end,
lona shall flourish as before,

place of punishment after deatli : —
" 'S mairg a roghnuicheas Ifrinn fhuar,

Laioe is not correct when, in attacking the genuineness of the
poems "of Ossian, he asserts that the yew, so often mentioned in
these works, is not a native plant of Scotland ; for tliere are various
places named after the yew, and have been so from time imme-
morial; as, GUniur, i.e. Gleann-iuthair, or the glen of yews
Vun-iur, i. e. Dun-iuthair, or the mount of yews. These names
and many others, prove that the yew is indigenous, and that it wa:
once abundant in the Highlands.
Ii'TiiAUACii, a. Made of yew ; abounding in yew.
luTiiAnACH, aich, s.f. A place where yews grow.
L, 1, luis, the qnicken tree; for the Gael named their letters
after natural objects and trees, when the names began with
suitable initials. When it is preceded by itself, or by any
other consonant, and followed by a broad vowel, as, a, o, u,
it has a broad lingual sound, to which there is none like in
the English language ; as, Ian, full ; lorn, bare ; lus, an
herb. When I is immediately followed by a short vowel, e
or i, it is pronounced like the Italian gl in gle or gli; as,
litir, a ktter; liim, an age. Yet, in the case of nouns be-
ginning with I, if the 7nasc. poss. pron. go before, / is pro-
nounced as in English ; as, a litir, his letter ; which differs
essentially in sound from a litir, her letter. With regard
to verbs beginning with /, the preterite is pronounced as in
English ; and in most other situations it is pronounced as II.

There is a stone, or rather a crystal, called kug, whicli vpas in
high request among the Gael during the ages of Popish superstition.
Water poured upon it became straightway impregnated with pe-

cattle. These stones are still in preservation, and in repute among

t LiA-FAiLE, S.f. The stone called also clack na cineamhuinn
(the fatal stone), on which the Scotch kings were wont to
be crowned, now in Westminster Abbey.
The lia fail, or, as some call it, the litig fad, or leug Jail, was
probably an invention of the Druids. It was the fatal chair on
which the supreme kings of Ireland were inaugurated in the days ot"
Druidism. From Ireland it was conveyed to Dunstaffhage in Scot-
land ; thence, about the year 842, to Scone, by Kenneth II.; and,
lastly, in 1300, by Edward to Westminster, where it still remains.
How the lia fail came to Scotland, whether by theft, fraud, or
violence, is not ascertained. It possessed extraordinary rirtues till
the time of our Saviour's birth. When the rightful candidate sat
on it, it emitted a stiange noise, and appeared otherwise agitated
in a surprising manner. .All this was, no doubt, owing to the
Druids, by whose clever jugglery the minds of men were tlicn
influenced and guided. It is not unlikely, then, that the lia tail was
lent to the Caledonians by their unsuspecting and generous brelliren
of Erin, in order to decide some question of royal right or legitimacy,
— that the Caledonians detained it contrary to promise and justice,
— and that the Irish thought it not north the recovering, since ÌLs
virtues had vanished at the commencement of the Christian era, cr
rather, perhaps, on the extinction of the Druidical order. Some time
after its arrival in Scotland, a superstitious belief became attached
to it, — that wherever the stone should be found, some one of the
race should reign. This persuasion is not so old as the times of
of Druidism. — I speak with deference where ToUind differs in

opinion. Tliis able antiquarian has recorded an Irish rhyme, a
" Druidical Oracle " respecting this most ancient raonumeul, con-
tained in the fullowing words : —
Cioniodh scuit saor an fine,
Man ba breag an Faisdine.
War a bh' fhuigliid an lia-fTiil,
Dlighid flaitheas do ghabliail.
Translated into Latin by Hector Boclliius.
Ne fallat fetum, Scoti, quoeunque loeatum
Invenienl lapidem hunc, regnare tenentur ibidem.

And wizards' wits be blind,
The Scots in place must reign,
AVhere they this stone sliall find.

If fates fail not, there fixed must be your throne.

Where fulling mills are at a great distance, the waulking or

Six or eight (I have seen fourteen) take their stations, in an equal
manner, on each side of a long frame of wattled work, or sometimes
of a board ribbed longitudinally, and placed on the ground.
Thereon is laid the wetted blanket or cloth which is to undergo the
process of waulking. The women then kneel, and, with their arms,
rub it firmly against tlie frame, with all their strength ; singing
loudly, at the same time, some mountain melody. When their
arms grow tired, they very naturally have recourse to their legs ;
then, sitting upon the ground, and tucking their pcUicoats up
to tlieir knees, the cloth is forthwith under a course of more
vigorous friction than before. As the work grows warm, the song
grows louder and louder, even to a very yell ; and at this stage of
tlie process, a stranger coming unexpectedly upon them, and who
had never heard of such a substitute for a fulling-mill, might well
take them for tlie weird s:sters engaged in some terrible incantation.

Tlic bnidJi or i/iiirn wa» once the only mill for corn-grinding
used in the Uiyhlands of Scotland. It is still in usi; among the
northern nations of Europe, and in many parts of Asia. This rude
instrument is composed of two stones of granite. The undermost
stone is about two feet in diameter, and commonly hollowed to tlie
dejrth of six inches. This hollow is of equal depth and diameter.
\\ ithin this is placed, horizontally, a smooth round flag about four
inches thick, and so fitted to the cavity, that it can jusl revolve with
ease. Through the centre of this revolving flag there is bored a
hole for conveying the grain. In the lower stone, in the centre of
its cavity, there is fixed a wooden pin on which the upper stone is
placed in .such exact equiponderante, that, though there be some
friction from t)ieir contact, a little force applied will make the upper
Hag revolve for several times, when there is no grain underneath.
408
On the surface of the upper flag, and near the edge, are two or
three holes, just deep enough to hold in its place the stick by Tvhich
it is turned round. The working of this mill was left to the women*
two of whom, when the corn was properly dried (see Gradan),
sat squatting on the ground, with the 6)yirf/i betwixt them, and, sing-
ing loudly some mountain-melody, performed their work, the one
turning round the upper flag with the thivel placed in one of the
holes, and the other dropping the corn in through the large hole.
This rude mill was common among the Celtic nations, from the
earliest periods of their history of which we have any account that
can be relied on ; and, without question, it is to this simple instru-
ment that we are to look for an explanation of our Saviour's pro-
phecy of " two women grinding at a mill." In corroboration of '
this remark we have the authority of Dr. Clarke, who saw one
worked in Nazareth, the earliest residence of Jesus Christ. " Two
women," he observes, " seated on the ground opposite to each
other, held between them two round flat stones, such as are seen in
I.apland, and such as are in Scotland called t/uerns. * » * * J^
the centre of the upper stone was a cavity for pouring in tlie corn; [
and by the side of this an upright wooden handle for moving the
stone. As the operation began, one of the women, with her right '
hand, pushed this handle to the woman opposite, who again sent it
to her companion ; thus communicating a rotatory and \ery rapid
motion to the upper stone ; their left hands being all the while
employed in supplying fresh corn, as fast as the bran and flour fell ':
from the sides of the machine."
The law of Scotland attempted in vain to discourage the use of '
the bradh. So far back as the reign of Alexander III., in the year
1 284, it was enacted : " That na man shall presume to grind quheit, '
maisloch, or rye, with hand mylnes, except he be compelled by i
storm, and be in lack of mylnes quhilk should grind the samen. '
And, in this case, if a man grinds at hand-mylnes, he shall gif the j
tlirettein measure as multer; and gif any man contraveins this our
prohibition, he shall tyne his hand-mylnes perpetuallie." i

N.
N, (nuin, the ash.) The twelfth letter of the Gaelic alphabet.
It has various sounds: (1.) N, when inuncdiately preceded
by i, or when i is the last vowel of the same syllable, often
sounds exactly as the French n in guigne, or the Italian n
in regno; as, linn, uh age; cùirn, cairns; nighean, a
daughter ; uinneag, a window. (2.) When n is in the
beginning of a verb in the imperative mood, and followed
by a broad vowel, as nochd, shew ; or at the beginning of a
masculine adjective, and followed by a broad vowel, as,
naomh, holy ; nuadh, nciv; it has no sound similar to it in
English, but it accords exactly with the first n in the Frencii
non, no. The same remarks apply to the reduplicated nn.
(3.) A^, at the beginning of a feminine adjective, and fol-
lowed by a long vowel ; or in the preterites of verbs, whether
aspirated or not, and followed by a long vowel ; or in the
end of words, and preceded by a long vowel, sounds as n
in the English words nor, not ; naondi, holy ; naisg,
si/ueezcd ; slinàg, creeped ; Man, full. (-1.) N, whether
simple or aspirated, if followed by a short vowel, sounds
like n in seen, neat ; in the preterite, and in certain other
tenses, as, nigh, washed; shniomh, spun; in the middle of
412
words, as, siiiidh, shall stretch ; and in the end of words, a
min, meal ; coin, dogs. Lastly ; the monosyllable an, whBi
the next word begins with c or g, sounds like ng; as, ancr!
the dog ; an gial, the cheek. ^
N, followed by a hyphen [n-], is introduced between d'
};oss. pron. ar, our, and the following word, when it been,
with a vowel ; as, ar n-aithrichean, our fathers. — Sm. Nj

There are three kinds of bagpipes, the Highland, the Irish, and
the Scottish. These instruments differ essentially in their tone and
compass of sound ; but they have this circumstance in common,
that the air blown into them, and which gives them utterance, is
collected into a bag, and is dislodged by the pressure of the per-
former's arm. Of these, the Highland pipe is, beyond comparison,
the most magnificent. It consists of a large bag, to which is attached
I a pipe for the inflation of it ; a chanter which furnishes the tenor
put of the music; and three drones which sound a loud swelling
bass. The sound of the drones is monotonous, and is in unison
with the lowest note, save one, on tlie chanter. When the large
drone is affixed, the noise is exceedingly loud, and well qualified
', for martial purposes. This instrument, as may be supposed, re-
i quires prodiaious exertion of the lungs ; and the piper is accordingly
; obliged to stand or walk when he plays on it. The compass of the
bagpipe is not great. It has but nine notes in all, which are not
capable of any variation by flats or sharps ; so that they are natural.
It is tuned by lengthening or shortening the drone, until the note
desired is sounded.
The Gael are not to be accounted the inventors of this noble
instrument, though they have improved upon it in such a degree
as to render its music of a most martial character, and exclusively
their own. The Norwegians had their soeck-pipe from time im-
memorial ; yet it has been asserted that they borrowed it from the
I Caledonians. The Greeks had their cUxdu^.r:!, or oto-«izuXo,-, an in-
strument composed of an inflated bag, a chanter, and two drones.
The peasants of Italy had, and still have, their piva and coniumusa,
formed on the model of the air««uXB(. Nero, who was an accom-
plished musician, is said to have greatly improved this instnunent.
. There is still to be seen at Rome a sculpture, in basso-relievo, of
t!ie highest antiquity — a bagpiper, playing on liis instrument like a
Highlander.
i.^ ' Aristides Quintilianus obsenes, that the bagpipes were used
.f 1 among the Caledonians in the very early ages ; yet the fragments
I "f ancient Gaelic poetry which have come down to us make no
mention of them ; so if they existed in those times, they must iiave
been in averj- rude and unimproved condition. The clursuch and
the emit were the instruments of note among the old Gael ; and
I these continued in vogue so long as their government was regular
* and their manners civilized. But when, in the course of time, dis-
^,;. 1 memberment and distraction arose among them ; when chieftainrv',
clanship, rivaln,-, and feud, usurped the place of law, subordination,
..f \f^ regular warfare, attention was turned to the bagpipe, which was
'' imtioduced and speedily improved upon. It was soon found to be
V (a most suitable instrument for spreading alarms, for collecting the
^) tlans with necessarj- speed, and for every exigency that might occur
in the altered condition of their society. The bagpipe has been, for
^ centuries past, the instrument of national music among the Gael ;
' md in the Isle of Skye there was a college founded by the lI'Leans
443
and the ÌM'Donalds, whither every performer who aspired to emi-
nence resorted for instruction. The bagpipe is fast on the decline ;
and before the lapse of two centuries, it is likely that it shall, in its
tuni, give way to the long-neglected harp.

Ro, adv. {Ir. id.) Very ; much ; too much ; exceeding.
When this adverb precedes an adjective, it communicates
to it the same degree of comparison which very does to a
noun in English ; and, moreover, it throws it into the aspi-
rated form, except it begins with /, n, or r ; as, buan, last-
ing ; ro bhuan, very lasting ; cairdeil, friendly ; ro chàir-
deil, very friendly ; daor, dear ; ro dhaor, very dear ; fearail,
manly ; ro f hearail, very manly ; geur, sharp ; ro gheur,
very sharp ; mall, sloiv ; ro rahall, very slow ; priseil, pre-
cious ; ro phriseil, very precious ; searbh, bitter ; ro shearbh,
very bitter; taitneach, pleasant; ro thaitneach, very plea-
sant. When the letter s, in the beginning of an adjective,
is immediately followed by any consonant, except I, r, n,
there is no aspiration. Thus we say, ro sbairneil, ro sceil-
meil, ro sgairteil, ro smiorail, ro spbrsail, ro stuama ; but
we never say, ro sleamhuinn, ro snitheach, ro sradach, in-
stead of ro shleamhuinn, ro shnitheach, ro shradach. L or
n, at the beginning of adjectives which are preceded by ro,
are pronounced much the same as in English ; but when
thev are preceded by s, they have a sound to which there
is none similar in the English or Scottish languages. Al-
most in every case where we wish to express a superlative
degree, ro may be used, observing the directions just given.

CHlaus Wormius, whose erudition cannot be questioned, has an
►•laborate dissertation on the origin of the Runa?, in the beginning
of his work on Runic literature. It would have shortened or facib-
lated bis inquiries liad he known, or rather had it occurred to him,
[that in the Gaelic, Irish, and Armoric dialects of the Celtic, run
signifies a secrtt or mystiri/. Indeed, the Cimbric term runa, which
signifies hieroglyphics, seems to be quite explanatory of Runic,
(characters which were but a mysterious and hieroglyphical mode of
■WTiting used by the priests of the ancient Goths. The Runic
hieroglyphics are, perhaps, the sca'ctu lihrarum mentioned by Tacitus
dc Mor. Germ. When the Germans afterwards learned the use of
.letters they, very naturally, called their alphabet RunK. See Gloss.

Saighdear, eir, s. m. {Ir. saigbeadoir. Lat. Sagittarius.)
A soldier; literally, an archer. Saighdear-coise, a foot-
soldier ; saiglidear-fairge, a marine ; saighdearan dearg,
red-coated soldiers ; red- coats ; — ?i name given to the go-
vernment soldiers during the disturbances in 1715 and 1745,
in contradistinction to the soldiers of Prince Charles, who
were, coumionly, called saighdearan dubh.
Saighdear (saighead-fhear) means an archer, as has already been
said. The standing armies of the Gael had, at one time, no other
weapons of offence than bows and arrows ; hence, in process of
time, saighdeur became an arbitrary term, and now signifies a
soldier of any description.

According to Martin, Stonaidh is the name of a water-spirit,
which the inhabitants of Lewis used to propitiate by a cup of ale,
in the following miuiner : — The inhabitants of the island came to the
church of St. -Mulway, each man carrying his provisions. Every
family gave a pock of malt, and the whole was brewed into ale.
One of their number was chosen to wade into the sea up to the
middle, carrying in his hand a cup tilled with ale. When he reached
3 proper depth, he stood still and cried aloud : " Seonaidh ! I give
thee this cup of ale, hoping that thou wilt be so good as to send us
I plenty of sea-ware for enriching our ground, during the coming
year." He then threw the ale into the sea. This ceremony was
performed in the night-time. On his coming to land, they all re-
paired to church, where there was a candle burning on the altar.
There thev stood still for a time, when, on a signal given, the candle
was put out, and straightway they adjourned to the fields, where the
night was spent mirthfully over the ale. Next morning they re-
turned to their respective homes, in the belief that they had insured
a plentiful crop for the next season.

Sgiatiianach, a. Winged; belonging to Skye; of Skye.
An t-eilean Sgiathanach, the Isle of Skye ; the winged
island.
The name of this island has piven room to much ingenious con-
jecture. JMr. Toland, in his History of the Druids, supported by
his very ingenious editor, Mr. Iluddleston, as well as by Dr. Smith
of Campbeltown, are disposed to trace the name to a remote
antiquity, and will have it that the island was so called, from its
containing the famous winped temple of Apollo, which he is said
to have had among the Hyperboreans. Sgiath is a pure Celtic
term, signifying wing. In support of the conjecture of these
eminent antiquarians, it has been justly observed, that ivt^lii^im,
Hypciboreum, was a name given to tlie islanders or Uebridians
by the ancient mariners, from their being so far north from the
Gades or the Straits of Gibraltar. Diodorus Siculus, too, in
describing the Hj-perboreans of the isles (not those of the Conti-
nent who inhabited the northern parts of Kuropc from Scythia, or
Tartar)' and llussia, westward to Scandinavia, or Sweden and
Norway inclusive), says, that " x)i all the other deities they wor-
shipped Apollo the most" — T»» Ai=-oA^ai imXurrti. TuvxXXuv hmt sraj'
numt TifLxtfai. — Jjb. ii. f«p. 130. Unquestionably this is a proof
that the Hyperboreans (the Boireadhach) did worship Apollo;
and the striking resemblance of the Celtic gri'an, sun, and Orannus,
one of the names of that divinity, may be mentioned as aflbrding
additional corroboration. Respecting the winged Hyperborean
temple, there are the ruins of a spacious edifice still shewn in the
Isle of Skye, which is supposed to be tlic remains of the building
m question. It cannot be doubted that such a building did e\i.«t.
Kratostlienes, already mentioned, one of the most learned chrono-
lot'crs, and one of the most accurate geographers of his time,
sjieakuig of Apollo's arrow, with which he slew the Cyclops, and
m hiiMour of which one of the northern constellations {siiiplietid,
sii/'illn,) has been named, says of the arrow, Kk^u-^i Ji auT» ■> Izii^-

barrier ; as ><««( wti{i.«( may be either a uunf^td temple or a teinple
made iif winpi ; m^ivot being translatable euher way. This diffi-
culty Mr. Toland y/i<» over cleverly, and says, if he (Eratosthenes)
meant the former, tlie ruins correspond with the epithet «o»/
if the latter, where can feathers be found in such abundance a!
variety as among the western islands, where many of the inl'
bitants pay their rent with them, and have profit besides ? '
Others will have it, that the island received its name from \'
Norwegians, after their conquest of it and the neighbouring islii
and that it signifies the cloudy island, from the Norse jAia, a doij
Tlie least learned opinion on this subject is the most probab
which is, that die isle was so called from its northern proiiiontori)
Waterness and Totemess, which shoot out into the sea, and exhi(
to mariners the appearance of wings. i

The silliich is the most active sprite of Highland mythology.
It is a dexterous child-sttaler, and is particularly intrusive on
women in travail. At births many covert and cunning ceremonies
are still used to b.iffle the fairy's power, otherwise the new-boui
infant would be taken off to t'ainiland, and a withered brat laid
in its stead. They are wantonly mischievous, and have weapons
peculiar to themselves, which operate no good to those at whom
they are shot. A clergyman of the kirk, who wrote concerning
Fairyland about the end of the seventeenth century, says of these
weapons, that " they are solid earthy bodies, nothmg of iron, but
much of stone, like to a yellow soft flint spnr, shaped like a barbed
arrow-head, but flung like a dart with great force." This belief, as
well as most Highland superstitions, are traceable to the early
sgesof the British Druids, on whose practices they are founded.

Taghairm, s.y. (/;•. toghairm.) A sort of divination ; an

Tlie divination by tlie tughuirm was once a noted superstition
among the Gael, and in tliL- nortliern parts of the Lowlands of Scot-
land. When any miportant question concerning futurity arose, and
of which a solution was, by all means, desirable, some shrewder
perion than his neighbours was pitched upon, to ptiform the part of
a prophet. This person was wrapped in the warm smoknig hide of
a newly-slain ox or cow, commonly an ox, and laid at full length in
tlie wildest recess of some lonely waterfall. The question was then
put to him, and the oracle was left in solitude to consider it. Here
lie lay for some hours with liis cloak of knowledge around him, and
over his head, no doubt, to see the better into futurity ; deafened by
the incessant roaring of the torrent ; every sense assailed ; his body
steaming ; his fancy was in ferment ; and whatever notion had found

lis way into iiis mind from so many sources of prophecy, it was I
firmly believed to have been communicated by invisible beings who
were supposed to haunt such solitudes.

Taibiisdear, eir, s. m. A seer, or one gifted with the second
sight. N. pi. taibhsdearan.
Taibhsdearaciid, s.f. (y>om taibhse.) The second sight,
or the faculty of seeing otherwise invisible objects.
I consider that some account of the Highland seors, and of llair
predictions, will not here be misplaced nor unacceptable.
At tlicsightof a vision of this kind, Dr. Martin observes, the eyelids
of the gifted person were erected, and the eyes continued staring till
tlie vision disappeared. If an object is seen in tlie morning, it will
be accomplished in the afternoon ; if at noon,' on that very day ; if
in the evening, that very night ; and if after candles are lit, on that
night for certain. If a .shroud is seen about a person, it foretells
approaching death ; and the time of it is more or less distant, ac-
cording to the height at which the shroud is obsened on the body.
If it be seen about tlie middle, death is not expected williin a twelve-
month ; if as high as the head, it is not many hours distant. To
see a spark of lire falling on one's arm, foretells that a dead child
shall be seen in the arms of that person. To see a chair empty at
the time a person sits in it, is a sure sign of approaching di.iili to
that person. Seers did not obsene supernatural appearances at the
same time, though they might happen to be in the same apartment ;
but when one of them who saw a vision, touched any number of his
brethren, they all saw it as well iis the first.
Having said this much of seers, and of the second sight, it may
Le amusing to many, to know how far the prophecies and the fullil-
ments agreed. For this purpose I select an instance or two recorded
by an English nobleman in the seventeenth century, who, previous
to his going to the Highlands, was one of the sturdiest unbelievers
in tlie second sight.
" Sin, — I heard very much, and believed very little, of the second
.sight ; yet its being assumed by .severall of great veracitie, I was in-
duced to make inquirie after it, in the year \<ir>2, being confined to
abide in the North of Scotland, by the Knglish usurpers. • » *
" ' * ' I was travelling in the Highlands, and a good num-
ber of servants with me, as is u.sual there. One of them going a
little before me, entering into a house where I was to .stay all nitfht,
and going hastily to the door, he suddenly stept back with a screech,
536
and did fall by a stone which hit his foot. I asked what tlie matt'
was, for he seemed to be very much frighted. He told me ve'
seriously that I should not lodge in tliat hou.se, because shortly'
dead cotfin would be carried out of it, for many were carrying of;
when he was heard to cry. I neglecting his words, and stayi ,
there, he said to the other senants he was sorry for it, and tl!
surely what he saw would come to pass. Tho' no sick person »;
then there, yet the landlord died of ane apoplectick fit before 1 1'
tlie house. ,
" * * * I shall trouble you with but one more which
thought the most remarkable of any that occurred to me. In .1
iiuary 1652, Lieut. Col. Alex. Munro, and I, were in the house'
one Wm. M'Leud, of Ferinlea, in the county of Ross. He,
landlord, and I, were sitting on three chairs neir the fire ; and!
the corner of the great chimney there were two islanders, who wi
that very iiight come to tlie house, and were related to the landlo'
While the one of them was talking to Munro, I perceived the ot r
to look oddly toward me. From his look, and his being an islanc ,
I conjectured him a seer, and asked him what he staired at?
answered me by desiring me to rise from tlie chair, for it was f i
unluckie one. I asked him why ? He answered, because there ■ ;
dead man in the chair next to me. Well, said I, if he be in t
next chair to me, I may keep mine own. But what is the liker*
of tlie man ? He said he was a tall man with a long grey o,
booted, and one of his legs hanging over the arme of the chair, if
his head hanging dead on the other side, and his arm backwards
if it was broken. Tliere were some English troops then quartet
near that place, and there being at that time a great frost aAi
thaw, the country was covered all over with yce. Four or fiv
the English ryding by this hous some two hours after the vis
while we were sitting by the fire, we heard a great noise, wl5
proved to be those troopers, with the help of other servants, carn^
in one of their number, who had a very mischievous fall, and f
his arme broke; and falling frequently in swooning fits, theybrovit
him into the hall, and set him on the verie chair, and in thevfi
posture that the seer propliecied. But the man did not die, thojt
lie recovered with great difiiculty. j
" Among the accounts given me by Sir Norman M'Lud, tljB
was one worthy of special notice, which w.as thus : — There wift
gentleman in the isle of Harris, who was always seen by tlie spr
with an arrow in his thigh. Such in the isle who thought (lie
prognostications infallible, did not doubt but he woulil be shtii
the thigh before he died. Sir Norman told me that he hearjt
the subject of their discourse for many years. At last he ijd
witliout any such accident. Sir Norman was at liis buria.lt
St. Clement's Church in the Harris. At the same time tlie co
of another gentleman was brought to be buried in the verie s
church. The friends on either side came to debate who should it
enter tlie church, and in a trice from words they came to bl
One of the number, who was armed with a bow and arrows, let
fiy among thcni. (Now everie familie in that isle have tlieirb'Sl
place in the church in stone chests, and the bodies are carrie
o|)en biers to the burial place.) Sir Norman having appeasec, e
tumult, one of the arrows was found shot in the dead man's tip.
To this .Sir Norman was a witness.
" These are matters of fact which, I assure yon, are tily
related." — Siiciincl Accompt <i/' imi jMril Tiirbolt's liilatiom, i»

I have seen a work on the second si(;lil, by one who styles 0"
self ' Theophilus Insulanu?,' win rnn iv n cunled a great varic of
cases where these visions wen i i. il\ luliillcd, and in so sat C-

the existence of this faculty, lather Ur. Beattie must not ive
been aware of this circumstance, or he threw out a galling saipm
when he said that none but the most ignorant pretended {he

These cases of shadowy prediction will enable the read to
balance the conflicting opinions entertained on the curious si ject
of the second sight; tìie one by Dr. Beattie of Aberdeen, anfhe
other by the celebrated Dr. Samuel .lohnson. The former asioes
this (iretended faculty wholly to the influence of physical caufOn
Buper.stitious and uninstructed minds. He thinks that long tr;i«ol

by misty weather, narrow valleys, thinly inhabited, and bound by
precipices resounding with the fall of torrents, the mournful diMiS
of waves along the friths and lakes that intersect the countr Ihi'

of the moon, must difluse a gloom over the fancy, which m;hf

not fall to tincture the thoughts of a native in ttie hour of silence
and solitude : that it is not wonderful if persons of a lively imagi-
nation, immured in deep solitude, and surrounded with the stu-
jwndous scenery of clouds, p~='cipices, and torrents, should dream
(even when they think themselves awake) of those few striking
ideas, with winch their lonely lives are diversified, of corpses,
funereal processions, and oilier subjects of terror; or of marriaijes,
and the arrival of strangers, and such like matters of more agreeable
curiosity : that none but ignorant people pretend to be gifted in
this way, and that in thera it may be nothing more, perhaps, than
short fits of sudden sleep or drowsiness, attemled with lively dreams,
and arising from bodily disorder, the effect of idleness, low spirits,
or a gloomy imagination. Nor is it extraordinar)-, he observes,
that one should hitve the appearance of being awsike, and should
even t';ink one's self so, during those fits of dozing; that they
should come on suddenly, and while one is engaged in some
business. The same thing happens to persons much fatigued, or
long kept awake, wh.o frequently fall asleep for a moment, or for a
long space, while tliey are standing, or walking, or riding on horse-
back : add but a lively dream to this slumber, and (which is the
frequent effect of disease) take away the consciousness of having
been asleep, and a superstitious man may easily mistake his dream
for a waking vision. Eeattie disbelieves the prophetical nature of
the second sight ; and does not think it analogous to the operations
of Providence, nor to the course of nature, that die Deity should
work a miracle in order to give intimation of the frivolous matters
which were commonly predicted by seers ; and that these intima-
tions should be given for no end, and to those persons only who are
' idle and solitary, who speak Gaelic, or who live among mountains
I and deserts.
[ To these objections it has been powerfully replied by Dr. John-
' son, that by presuming to determine what is fit, and what is bene-
ficial, they presuppose more knowledge of the universal system than
man has hitherto attained ; and therefore depend upon principles
too complicated and extensive for our comprehension, and that
there can be no security in the consequence when the premises are
not understood : that the second sight is only wonderful because it
is rare, for, considered in itself, it involves no more difficult)- than
dreams, or perhaps the regular exercise of the cogitative faculty :
that a general opinion of communicative impulses, or visionary re-
presentations, h;is prevailed in all ages and nations : tliat particular
instances have been given with such evidence as neither Bacon nor
Bayle have been able to resist ; that sudden impressions, which tlie
I event has verified, have been felt by more than own or publish
I Ihem ; thrt the second sight of the Hebrides implies only the local
' frequency of a power which is no where totally unknown ; and that
where we are unable to decide by antecedent reason, we must be
content to yield to the force of testimony. By pretension to second
sight, no profit was ever sought or gained. It is an involunfaiy
affection, in which neither hope nor fear are known to have any
part. Those who profess to feel it do not boast of it as a privilege,
nor are considered by others as advantageously distinguished. They
have no temptation to feign, and their hearers have no motives to
encourage the imposture.

. Tan, land, is not much in use among the Gael. It is seen, how-

Titans {Ti-tàii), dwellers in tlie earth, to those people of antiquity
i«ho, in preference to the open air, li\ ed in the subterraneous caverns
■ n which Europe once abounded. The opjxisition made by the
Italian Titans, descendants of Hellen, son of Deucalion, to the
lorthem invaders, whose generals took tlie name of gods, gave rise
0 the fabled war between the gods and the giants. Ti-tans, as

>eing, or subterraneous being ; they were also called Gigantes, from
r^ytnt, another Celtic term (Ct-gin, curih-born,) in Greek cha-

This is an ancient Druidical term, as we may learn from Pliny,
who says of the misletoe, that the Druids " called it by a word Uiat
signifies in their language all hriil :" Omnia sanantcm appelluntcs sun
vocabulo. — Lib. xvi. ch. 44. The Druids gathered the misletoe on
the tenth of March. Toland supposes that \'irgil (.E«. lib. vi.) al-
ludes to the ceremony of consecrating the misletoe, where he makes
mention of the goUkn branch. Pliny, in the 16th book of his Nat.
Hist., is particular in his description of the misletoe. The following
is a translation of it: — "The Druids (so they call their magi)
hold nothing in such sacred respect as the misletoe, and the tree ou
which it grows, provided it be an oak. They select certain woods
of oak, and they do not perform any sacred rite without the leaf of
that tree ; so that hence it is likely they have been called Druids,
explaining the name from the Greek, Afi/<, Drus, oak; Druida-,
Oakitcs." Whatever grows on that tree, more than its natural
growth, tliey think has been sent from heaven, and is a proof tluif
the tree has been chosen by God himself. However that [species of
misletoe] is very rarely found, and when found it is sought after
with great devotion ; and especially at the sixth moon, which is the
beginning of their months and years, and when the tree has p;issed
its thirtieth year, because it has already abundant vigour, though not
half-grown. They call it by a word signifying in their own language,
ALL-HEAL ; and liaving prepared sacrifices and feasts under the tree,
they bring up two white bulls, whose horns are then first bound ;
the priest in a white robe ascends the tree, and cuts it off with
a golden knife : it is received in a white sheet. Then, and not till
then, they sacrifice the victims, praying that God would render his
gift prosperous to those on whom he had bestowed it. When
misletoe is given as a potion, they are of opinion tliat it can remove
animal barrenness, and tliat it is a remedy agtiinst all poisons.

I-RUISG, s.m. {perhaps mr-uisge.) A brownie, or a being
who was supposed to haunt lonely dells, moorland lakes,
and waterfalls. He seems to have had the qualities of
man and spirit curiously commingled.
Some have compared this class of imaginary beings to the satyrs
ofthe ancients ; but witliout reason, since they had no disposition,
nor any point of character in common, excepting a fondness for so-
htude, «hicli the iiruixg possessed only at certain seasons of the year.
About the end of harvest he became more sociable, and hovered
about farm-yards, stables, and cattle-houses. He had a particular
fondness for the products of the dairj-, and was a fearful intruder
on milkmaids, who made regular libations of radk or cream to charm
him off, or to procure his fevour. lie could be seen only by those
who had the second-sight ; yet I have heard of instances where he
made himself visible to persons who were not so ffifted. He is said
I to have been a jolly personable being, with a broad blue bonnet,
f i flowing yellow hair, and a long walking-staff. Ever}- manor-house
had its iiruisg : and in the kitchen, close by the fire, was a seat which
was left unoccupied for him. The house of a proprietor on tiie
banks of the Tay is, even at this day, believed to have been haunted
byOiis sprite, and a particular apartment therein has been for cen-
turies called scimmr B/iriinaidh, Brownie's room. When irritated
through neglect or disrespectful treatment, he would not hesitate to
become w,-»titonly mischievous. He was, notwithstanding, rather
pinly and good-natured than formidable. Though, on the whole, a
la2y, lounging hobgoblin, he would often bestir himself in behalf of
\\?* ^^° ""^^'■**°°'l ^^ humours, and suited themselves thereto
^' nen in this mood, he was known to perform many arduous ex-
585
ploits in kitchen, bam, and stable, {nee cemitur ulli,) with marvel-
lous precision and rapidity. These kind turns were done without
bribe, fee, or reward ; for the ofl'er of any one of these would banish
him forever. Kind treatment was all that he wished for; and it
never failed to procure his favour.
In the northern parts of Scotland the ùruisg's disposition was more
mercenary. Brand, in Ins description of Zetland, observes, that " not
above forty or fifty years ago almost ever)' family had a broicnie, or
evil spirit so called, which sen-ed them, to which they gave a sacri-
fice for his service ; a.s when they churned their milk, they took a
part thereof, and sprinkled every corner of the house with it for
Brownie's use : likewise, when they brewed, they had a stone which
tliey called Broivnin's stane, wherein there was a little hole, into
which they poured some wort for a sacrifice to Brownie. They also
had stacks of corn which they called Brownie's stacks, which though
they were not bound with straw ropes, or any way fenced as other
stacks used to be, yet the greatest storm of wind was not able to
blow away straw ofl'them."
The broivnies seldom discoursed with man, but they held frequent
and affectionate converse with one another. They had their general
assemblies too ; and on these occasions they commonly selected for
their rendezvous the rocky recesses of some remote torrent, whence
their loud voices, mingling with the water's roar, carried to the ears
of wondering superstition detached parts of their unearthly colloquies.
In a certain district ofthe Highlands, Peallaidu an spfiit, Slochd-
aill a chiiirt, and Brvxaidh '« easain, were names of note at those
congresses ; and they still live in legends which continue to amuse
